Marriage equality: Texas
#19
RE: Marriage equality: Texas
If the 5th Circuit upholds the judge (the most right-wing of the Circuit Courts) the battle is pretty much over. If they reverse it will end up in the SC.

But the state is asserting the right to "regulate" marriage (odd for a bunch of republicunt shitheads who don't want to regulate anything else!) while the courts are applying the standard set out by Garcia:

Quote:he said in his order. “Without a rational relation to a legitimate governmental purpose, state-imposed inequality can find no refuge in our U.S. Constitution.”

These are apples and oranges arguments.
