Federal Judge Weighs Blocking Gay Marriages In Mass.

(Boston, Massachusetts) Conservative groups pleaded with a federal judge Wednesday in an 11th-hour bid to stop the nation's first state-sanctioned gay marriages from taking place next week in Massachusetts.

Mathew Staver, president and general counsel of the Florida-based Liberty Counsel, argued that the state's high court stepped outside its jurisdiction when it ruled in November that gay marriage should be legal in Massachusetts.

``It's an unusual time that we live in, and we're asking this court to intervene to prevent this constitutional train wreck,'' Staver told U.S. District Judge Joseph Tauro.

Assistant Massachusetts Attorney General Peter Sacks, arguing on behalf of the Supreme Judicial Court, said the state court based its ruling on an interpretation of the state constitution, and the case does not belong in federal court.

Now correct me If I am wrong, a group from Florida is going to Federal court over a States issue in Massachusetts? When will the madness end?

... but what about STATES' RIGHTS?!?!? Looks to me like the federal government under bush* is about to ONCE AGAIN expand its reach and power.

Fucking liberal bush*!!

That's Falwell's group.
