A state appeals court Thursday overturned a ruling that would have allowed gay couples to marry in New York City.
The state Supreme Court's Appellate Division ruled 4-1 that Justice Doris Ling-Cohan erred in February when she held that the state's domestic relations law is unconstitutional since it does not permit marriage between people of the same sex.
"We find it even more troubling that the court, upon determining the statute to be unconstitutional, proceeded to rewrite it and purportedly create a new constitutional right," the appeals court said.
The Supreme Court is New York's main trial-level court.

Sheesh, now you've done it.
In another month or so, this thread will be resurrected by angry Margaret Cho fans.

Somebody should tell Margaret Marshall.
This case sounds like a direct repudiation of what Mad Maggie and her lawless court wrought in Massachusetts.
I'd add that I'd love to see her reaction, but I fear it would be along the lines of a righteous sniff and dismissive wave of her hand at the writings of those 'not as enlightened' as she and her band of arrogant, elitist activists.
On the bright side, the requisite number of signatures to put this issue in front of Massachusetts voters (in 2008) were filed at the Secretary of State's office this week. I truly hope the voters really tell Mad Maggie where to put her gavel when the question appears on the ballot!
