Utah Gov. Gary Herbert speaks during a news conference Wednesday, June 25, 2014, in Salt Lake City. A federal appeals court on Wednesday ruled for the first time that states must allow gay couples to marry, finding the Constitution protects same-sex relationships and putting a remarkable legal winning streak across the country one step closer to the U.S. Supreme Court. Herbert said he was disappointed with the panel's decision and believes states should determine their own laws regarding same-sex marriage. He hopes the high court will rule on the issue to provide clarity. "We can't get finality and final resolution unless the Supreme Court hears the case and makes a decision," Herbert said at a news conference. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer)
