Gay Marriage Close to Legal in Maryland

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

 

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Gay marriage is all but legalized in Maryland

after the legislature gave its final OK Thursday to the law that's being sent

to Gov. Martin O'Malley, who said he expects to sign it sometime this week.

The state Senate voted 25-22 for the law. The vote comes less than a week

after the House of Delegates barely passed the measure.

Maryland will become the eighth state to allow gay marriage when O'Malley

— who sponsored the bill — signs the legislation.

The Democrat made the measure a priority this session after it stalled last year.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration asked the Supreme Court

on Wednesday to hear a case concerning the 2010 health care overhaul law.

The development, which came unexpectedly fast,

makes it all but certain that the court will soon agree to hear

one or more cases involving challenges to the law,

with arguments by the spring and a decision by June,

in time to land in the middle of the 2012 presidential campaign.

NEW ORLEANS — A slow-moving and soggy storm that has been dawdling

in the Gulf of Mexico for days moved toward the shore Saturday morning,

bringing with it rainfall so heavy that officials say extensive flooding

is all but inevitable in areas along the coast.
