Otherwise, why would they hold the cases, not just deny cert?

They didn't take it up on Friday or deny it today. She did not participate in the Windsor case in any capacity and the Supreme Court's order on Friday didn't mention any recusals. They would have mentioned her recusal if it had occurred.

It appears as though the Court is holding the Gill case and the others for the outcome in Windsor so as of now no other DOMA cases will be reviewed and no recusals necessary.
