Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue (R) announced Wednesday that the state will immediately appeal Tuesday's court ruling that struck down a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.

Perdue instructed Attorney General Thurbert Baker to file the appeal.

"In my opinion, the decision by the Fulton County Superior Court is wrongfully decided," Baker told reporters following a meeting with the governor.

"I intend to press the Georgia Supreme Court to quickly correct the Superior Court's error and re-instate the language adopted by Georgia voters in 2004."


looks like the fascists are alive and well in this country also

1. Does this ruling have any immediate impact?

Does it just mean that the ban is illegal, or does it thereby legalise gay-marriage?

2. of course not

they knew that the language in the ballot measure was flawed

3. Gods, guns & gays: the Republoicans' fave issues to bring out the fundies.

I've met Purdue twice. I told him I wouldn't vote for him because he's a Republican. (That felt good.)

He is a bigoted, Republican, Dixiecrat, asshat. He was here just last week at a gathering of rich, conservative white businessmen, bankers,developers and blue collar bubbas: that's his freaking base.
