Georgia's gay marriage ban ruled *unconstitutional*

Okay it was chunked on a technicality, but a victory is a victory.  It will take legislators to put it back on the ballot again, and that won't happen in time for the November ballot.

One of the obstacles is that legislators can't fund-raise while they're in session, and since they're all up for re-election in the fall, they won't want to take a break from their fundraising to go into special session.

Interesting, thanks!

Btw, do you think our state house will see radical change this Fall?

Georgia being Georgia, I'm afraid the best we can hope for is a smaller Republican majority.

But I've been wrong before, and I hope I am this time.
