Another one falls:
A federal magistrate judge ruled Tuesday that Idaho's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.
U.S. District Magistrate Judge Candy Dale wrote in the decision that Idaho's laws banning same-sex marriage unconstitutionally deny gay and lesbian citizens their fundamental right to marry.
The judge also denied Gov. Butch Otter's motion for a
stay on the ruling:
“This case involves serious legal questions, but as the Court’s May 13 Order makes clear, Governor Otter is not likely to succeed on the merits,” the judge wrote. “The State’s continued enforcement of its laws against same-sex marriage irreparably harms Plaintiffs and other same-sex couples.”
