U.S. District Judge says Toddy can't get married in Louisiana

Not to another guy anyway.

FWIW, I really don't care much about the issue. I do believe that government should have no say in what kind of binding contracts two competent adults enter into, whether we call that contract "marriage", I don't give a shite. As long as churches are left to their own decisions.

U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman issued a ruling Wednesday (Sept. 3) upholding Louisiana's ban on gay marriage, breaking a string of 20-plus court victories for supporters of same-sex marriage since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act last year.
A spokesman for the Forum on Equality, which represents three same-sex couples suing state officials over the ban, said the plaintiffs will appeal Feldman's ruling to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal.
Feldman's ruling includes upholding the state's refusal to recognize gay marriages legally performed in other states.
Feldman said gay marriage supporters failed to prove that the ban violates equal protection or due process provisions of the Constitution.

Yay for state sovereignty and the 10th Amendment.
Now, Toddy, you and yours need to get out there and convince the electorate of the State of Louisiana that they should repeal their laws regarding same sex marriage. I'll vote against you, but I would support your effort to do so.

I fully expect Louisiana and Mississippi to be next to last and dead last in this just like they are in everything else.

It really is embarrassing. Thank God for the resurgence of New Orleans - at least LA has a world class city to save it a little.

How's the violent crime rate in New Orleans these days? Since it's this City on a Hill and all, you know...

It doesn't really matter, since the US Supremes will at some point "legalize it" in every state.

Don't worry, Alabamastan is behind both by at least 40 years

He's like a million years old. I'm shocked he's still on the bench right now.

I doubt the Fifth even gets to a decision before the USSC rules on the issue.

Not a shock at all. The SCOTUS will deal with this issue in the near future.

Toddy can get married to any woman who will have him. His rights are equal to any other man.

Reagan appointee who is 80 years old. If you're really paranoid, he's a FISA judge, too.

95% of it is drug/gang related and therefore largely irrelevant to law-abiding citizens. There should be stats breaking this down plainly but that would be "raysess"

What is embarrassing? A State chooses to pass a law that is challenged in a higher court. This is how it works, right?
Posted on 9/3/14 at 1:27 pm to ragincajun03
I'm actually surprised by this ruling a little bit.

Because it's clearly the wrong side of history to be on. I'll give you $5000 if gay marriage is not legal across the United States in 20 years. Bookmark this.
