What do I know; I just work here -- The same-sex marriage vote
I read that the ACLU plans to file a lawsuit challenging the language used to describe the proposed same-sex marriage Constitutional amendment that is to be on the November 2 ballot. As I understand it (and not having reviewed the legislation, etc.), the ballot will only have sentence stating that marriage will be between a man and a woman. Yes or no.
I am not a member (card-carrying or otherwise) of the ACLU, and thus do not have do not have its telephone nos. in my Outlook. But I would suggest that the ACLU attorneys review -- if they have not already -- the successful challenge 10 years or so ago in federal court in the Northern District of Georgia of the Constitutional amendment pertaining to allowing suits against a state department or agency (I think this is the language. Anyway, it dealt with sovereign immunity.)
(One ACLU attorney whom I do know is Laughlin McDonald. We have litigated on opposite sides in voting rights and redistricting cases. In the Army, out of respect, I would call him an officer and a gentleman. And I must add, a damn good man to boot.)
