NOM denied right to defend Oregon's marriage equality ban

Quote:BREAKING: A federal judge just DENIED the National Organization for Marriage's motion to intervene and defend Oregon's marriage ban!

From http://www.oregonunitedformarriage.org/denied/

Quote:DENIED. That’s what a federal judge just told the D.C.-based National Organization for Marriage as they desperately sought to defend Oregon’s marriage ban in court today.

After no one—literally no one—would defend our state’s constitutional amendment blocking same-sex couples from marrying, NOM went to court this morning, hoping to step in to uphold it.

But the judge didn’t buy it. He heard NOM’s arguments, and he decided that in refusing to defend the ban, Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum—not an out-of-state interest group—accurately represented the views of Oregonians.

[snip]

Nevertheless, today’s ruling is a huge victory—and it paves the way for what we hope will be the ultimate victory: winning marriage for all loving couples in Oregon.

They're losing slowly. Unfortunately the more they lose ground, the more vocal they become in bitching about it - like the religious, in fact

Legal standing is a bitch when you don't have it.

The judge decided that NOM had none. Not surprising for an out of state group with zero support from even a shell in-state organization.

They are going to appeal.

Good fucking luck. As far as I can see, there are no grounds to claim standing at all.

NOM's argument is that the Attorney General of Oregon has a duty to defend the constitutional ban even if every citizen of the state of Oregon were against the ban and they have their panties in a twist because she won't do it.
