Using lack of standing to dismiss the case is weasling.

Using lack of standing to dismiss the case is weasling. Not really, judges do it all the time. Wasn't that Plessy vs. Ferguson or something?

Wow, this came out of the 9th? Here's why:
"The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reached the result urged by gay-rights groups, which opposed the federal suit because they are trying to overturn California's marriage law in state court."

Well of course they can't. The gay activist strategy is to have a married homosexual couple from Massachusetts bring that suit. Duh! You can't sue for federal benefits until you first gain state recognition, or the DOMA is irrelevant. I would say it was a waste of money but they probably got the services for free from some activist attorney.

SAN FRANCISCO - A federal appeals court today dismissed a challenge by two Orange County men to a law denying federal marriage benefits to same-sex couples, saying a couple that isn't legally married under state law has no right to contest the federal definition of marriage.
The federal appeals court should have dismissed the challenge to reality as follows:
A homosexual couple are free to engage in delusion; however, society is not required to reward or grant privelege to such activity...

Wow, this came out of the 9th?Read carefully.
The Ninth denied because they agreed with the gays that they had a better chance of getting the result they wanted in State Court!!

"The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reached the result urged by gay-rights groups, which opposed the federal suit because they are trying to overturn California's marriage law in state court."
When the nutty 9th circuit makes an actual sane ruling, you can bet their is something amiss in how they got there.

So I take it then that me and my sheep "gerdie" have very little chance also..... Call the ACLU
To: SmithL
This is such a game of ping-pong between the courts. We need a Federal Marriage Protection Act to settle the matter.
