But It's Settled Law!

From the LVRJ:  A gay rights advocacy group Friday appealed a federal judge’s ruling that upheld Nevada’s constitutional ban against same-sex marriage, the same day New Jersey’s Supreme Court paved the way for gay marriages to commence there next week.
The appeal filed Friday by Lambda Legal asks the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco to overturn a decision last year by U.S. District Judge Robert Jones in Reno.
“The world has changed dramatically since we filed this lawsuit over a year ago,” said Lambda Legal attorney Tara Borelli. She said after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act, “Nevada’s ban on marriage for same-sex couples has become exponentially more harmful to same-sex couples who are barred form a sweeping array of federal benefits as well.”
Jones in November ruled Nevada has a “legitimate state interest” in maintaining the traditional institution of marriage. The question “is not the wisdom of providing for or recognizing same-sex marriage as a matter of policy,” he wrote. Instead, Jones said it was a constitutional question about Nevada’s right not to recognize marriages from other states “if those laws do not conform to Nevada’s one-man-one-woman civil marriage institution.”  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/group-appeals-ruling-upheld-nevadas-same-sex-marriage-ban
What has the left been telling us the past month or so about ObamaCare... it's settled law, get over it, it's the law.
Ok, now, you reap what you sow.  Drop the lawsuit and shut up.
But they are liberals, they don't care if they are hypocrites or not.

  1. If it's an unconstitutional law, it's subject to repeal. ObamaCare was found constitutional, remember? This is also going through the proper channels, and not being used in an extortion battle like ACA was. If a Democratic Congress was holding it out as a demand in a negotiation that threatened the world economy, it might be hypocrisy.

    There's no hypocrisy here.
