In Florida: Gov. Scott wants to Appeal the Marriage Ban


Oh, Florida...

After the hateful gay marriage ban was dropped in the state, Gov. Rick Scott and friends want to appeal that decision.

From the Florida ACLU press release:
Today, defendants in two federal lawsuits challenging Florida’s marriage ban – Governor Scott appointees John Armstrong (Surgeon General) and Craig Nichols (Secretary of the Department of Management Services), and Washington County Clerk of Court Harold Bazzell— filed a notice that they are appealing the August 21 ruling by U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle overturning Florida’s ban on marriage for same-sex couples.

The ruling, a result of two separate federal lawsuits—one brought by the ACLU of Florida, the other brought by Jacksonville attorneys William Sheppard and Sam Jacobson—made Florida the 16th state in which a federal court has found a marriage ban unconstitutional since the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down the main provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
This is so stupid! Really? They want to waste money on this? Good luck, NOT!
