23 September 2004The kid stays in the pictureThe Supreme Court of the state of Oklahoma today refused to consider a request by the American Civil Liberties Union to remove State Question 711, a referendum which would bar same-sex marriage, from the ballot. The ACLU had claimed the measure was vague and discriminatory; the Supremes were not impressed. They were also not impressed with a request by embattled Insurance Commissioner Carroll Fisher to delay his impeachment trial, which was also denied. |
