Sprows: Two years ago, the Court had a chance to overturn this very law. It was 4-4 to grant cert on the challenge to the ban on gay adoption.
Garza:: And you told me to take the case.
Sprows: And you voted not to.
The Supreme Court uses the "rule of four" to decide when to "grant cert" (grant a writ of certiorari, agreeing to hear the case). Once four justices voted to grant cert, it wouldn't have mattered how Garza voted.
The issue of gay adoption in Florida has been a major legal and political battle and front page news for years. It simply isn't credible that a gay man wouldn't know that gay people were legally prohibited from adopting.
Garza: What can I say, I'm a sucker for a good crusade.

While it was the case that gay adoption was illegal in Florida at the time this episode was made, it has now been ruled unconstitutional, and the state has decided not to appeal the decision.
