5th Circuit Judge Strikes Down Texas Ban
Now it's Texas' turn. U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia has found that Texas' constitutional ban on same-sex marriage us unconstitutional because it violates due process and equal protection requirements. The judge also issued a stay pending appeal. The Texas Attorney General announced he will join the dwindling number of state Attorney's General who will waste taxpayer money defending the provision.
The State of Texas didn't come up with any new arguments defending the state constitution, but just hauled out the same old ones that have not held up in any other federal court.
