In San Antonio Federal District Judge Orlando Garcia has ruled the state ban on same-sex marriage to be unconstitutional. The language of the ruling is stuff we've heard before, including references to Supreme Court precedent. The ruling has been stayed pending appeal to the highly conservative 5th Circuit Court. Two opposite rulings from Circuit Courts may appear soon, forcing the issue to the Supremes. Since Texans are willing to let their bigotries be known (even showing some pride in them) perhaps this judge has made an investment in personal security.
That nasty permission to discriminate bill in Arizona was vetoed by Gov. Brewer. I hear the Gov. got an earful from business leaders saying the bill was a bad idea. That included the National Football League threatening to relocate the Super Bowl scheduled for Phoenix next year.
