Seven to zip, the UW professor is wrong. (Surprise!)Background: In November 2006, voters were asked whether the state should ban same-sex marriage and whether it should ban "identical or substantially similar arrangements," such as civil unions. Wisconsin voters adopted the amendment with 59% of the vote.
A legal challenge to the state's constitutional ban on gay marriage was rejected Wednesday by the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
In a 7-0 ruling, the court ruled the 2006 constitutional amendment was properly put to voters in a statewide referendum
Bill McConkey, a University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh political science instructor from Door County, in 2007 sued the state in Dane County Circuit Court arguing that the ban should be struck down.
The Supremes were not persuaded by McConkey's convoluted blather.
This will be one of many legal challenges to this amendment.
If legally we could, a ban on abortion in Wisconsin would pass by an even larger margin... Except that according to Wisconsin law, abortion is illegal in the state. Only by the federal Roe v Wade decision did judicialslators take the rights of the state away to govern its own people.
