Federal Judge Gives Naughty Nebraska a Spanking

A federal judge has knocked down Nebraska's ban on same-sex marriage. When is Congress going to step in and enact a defense of marriage law and make it non-reviewable by the federal courts (at least give it a shot and see what happens--U.S. Const., Article III, Section 2)? And if Congress doesn't think that will work, put the Constitutional amendment into overdrive now. Link. Excerpts:

A federal judge Thursday struck down Nebraska's ban on gay marriage, saying the measure interferes not only with the rights of gay couples but also with foster parents, adopted children and people in a host of other living arrangements.

But the Nebraska AG is snarling a bit. Is there a little civil disobedience in the following?

Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning, who plans to appeal the ruling, said same-sex marriages were not allowed before the ban and would not be permitted now.

If so, he has a big majority behind him:

"I intend to pursue this case vigorously," he said. "Seventy percent of Nebraskans voted for the amendment to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman, and I believe that the citizens of this state have a right to structure their constitution as they see fit."
