Walker moves to withdraw state's defense of domestic partnership law

Catholic Gov Jim Doyle

Gov. Scott Walker does not want to defend the state's domestic partnership law against a legal challenge and has filed court papers to withdraw from the case.

In his motion, filed late Friday in Dane County Circuit Court, the governor also asks that, if Judge Daniel Moeser refuses to grant his motion to withdraw from the case, he be allowed to change the state's position and declare the domestic partner registry unconstitutional.

Wisconsin citizens passed a Marriage Amendment in 2006 by a large margin.  In 2009 Doyle signed a domestic partnership law included in the state budget.  Obviously, the legal implications of then Gov. Doyle ignoring the state constitution brought about challenge in court.

It's all about adoption.  Certain hospital and inheritance protections are reasonable(and really token) requests, but the goal is to take children out of natural families and into homes of same-sex partners.  Every child has a right to a mother and a father.
