    Defenders of Marriage will Appeal Latest Decision Against Proposition 8 Alliance Defense Fund Defenders of marriage in California will appeal Tuesday’s ruling from the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit that upheld a district judge’s decision against the state’s constitutional amendment protecting marriage. The ProtectMarriage.com legal defense team, including Alliance Defense Fund attorneys, expressed no surprise that the lawsuit over the amendment, which protects marriage as the union of one man and one woman, would progress beyond the three-judge 9th Circuit panel as has been long predicted by parties on both sides. ProtectMarriage.com is the banner organization for...

    Boise, Idaho (AHN) - A proposed constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in Idaho has passed the State Senate and will go to voters this November. If approved, it would mean that in Idaho, "a marriage between a man and a woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized." Opponents argued in court that a constitutional amendment isn't necessary because state law already defines marriage as being between a man and a woman. Supporters say the amendment would prevent judges from overturning that law. Last week, the measure passed the Idaho House 53-17 vote. The Senate...

    "The ultimate arbiter [of the Constitution] is the people of the Union..." - Thomas Jefferson, 1823 Bowing to the demands of four unelected members of its state supreme court, Massachusetts recently began issuing marriage licenses to men who want to marry men, women who want to wed women. As other states and municipalities follow Massachusetts' lead, this cultural battle will inevitably end up in federal court. And unless action is taken, it's probably just a matter of time before a federal judge rules that homosexual "marriages" should be recognized nationwide. As we've seen in decisions ranging from abortion to the...
