Discussion: Colorado Judge Overturns Same-Sex Marriage Ban But Stays Ruling

Discussion for article #224871

The first time or two this happened, I popped open a bottle of champagne to celebrate. If I were to do that now, I would be snockered most of the time. Think I’ll wait to celebrate until the final state.

This will happen over and over again—and the appeals will all fail, too.

That might be several months away, but in the meantime, it’s still fun to have a drink or two when it happens in a deep red state.

Colorado Attorney General John Suthers’ office plans to appeal the ruling, according to the newspaper.

Can someone with legal expertise answer a question for me? The 10th Circuit Court just ruled (stayed pending appeal) against Utah’s ban. So, to whom will the Colorado AG be appealing? The 10th Circuit again? And aren’t they likely to simply say, “no, we just talked about this”? I understand that there is another case before the 10th CC regarding the Oklahoma ban, but those proceedings began before the recent ruling which basically said that state-level constitutional bans are unconstitutional.

Yeah, John, waste your taxpayers’ money appealing this, when cases of this type are undefeated.

AND, there is already an appeals court that has okay’d it.

If teabaggers were really anti-tax, they would be screaming for him to give this up.

I believe he’ll appeal to SCOTUS
