North Carolina to drop opposition to same-sex marriage

[Fearless]

In the wake of Virginia’s same-sex marriage ban being ruled as unconstitutional, North Carolina’s attorney general has said that prosecutors will not continue to defend his state’s ban on same-sex marriage.

After a ruling by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in regards to Virginia’s ban on same-sex marriage, Attorney General Roy Cooper made an announcement that he felt North Carolina’s ban on same-sex marriage was “almost sure to be overturned.”

He said: “Simply put, it’s time to stop making arguments we will lose and instead move forward, knowing that the ultimate resolution will likely come from the U.S. Supreme Court.”

1. Dominoes! They are all falling willy-nilly.

Willy-nilly, the original meaning being willing, or not willing.

2. Yay!

3. Hopefully the GOP controlled legislature (called the General Assembly here in NC)...

doesn't waste tax payer dollars by hiring outside legal counsel.

In any case, good on Attorney General Roy Cooper (D) for coming to the right conclusion!
