Liberty Counsel Set to Argue at Virginia Supreme Court Regarding Same-Sex Civil Unions
Liberty Counsel has issued this press release that begins:
This week on Thursday, April 17, Liberty Counsel is scheduled to present oral argument in defense of Lisa Miller and her five-year-old daughter at the Virginia Supreme Court. The case is Miller v. Jenkins and concerns the sovereignty of the Commonwealth of Virginia regarding its marriage and domestic relations policy in the face of a Vermont ruling seeking to import same-sex civil unions. This is a precedent-setting legal battle between Virginia and Vermont over same-sex unions and the rights of Lisa Miller, a fit, biological mother of her five-year-old daughter, against unrelated, third-party Janet Jenkins. The implications of this case are crucial in protecting states’ rights against same-sex “marriage” or same-sex civil unions.
