CINCINNATI (WKRC) -- The countdown is on for the Supreme Court to give its decision on the local case that could force all states to recognize same-sex marriages. That ruling could come as early as Thursday, June 18. According to its website, the Supreme Court has added a session Thursday morning at 10 a.m. for the announcement of opinions. Many believe that's when they will release the decision in Obergefell v Hodges. Jim Obergefell challenged Ohio's ban on same-sex marriage in order to get listed on his late husband's death certificate. It is possible the justices will announce a ruling in another case and hold off on same-sex marriage until as late as June 30, 2015, when the current session ends.
