Wis. Supreme Court upholds will of the people on marriage
State high court unanimously thwarts attack on marriage amendment adopted by voters
MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin Supreme Court Wednesday unanimously refused to tear down a state constitutional amendment adopted by voters that affirms marriage as the union of one man and one woman and prohibits the state from manufacturing other legal relationships that masquerade as marriage. Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund filed a friend-of-the-court brief last year on behalf of the Wisconsin Family Council in defense of the amendment, which a lower court upheld as constitutional. Case Name: McConkey v. Van Hollen Full news release, quotes, and related media resources available at the following link: http://www.adfmedia.org/News/PRDetail/2951 ADF is a legal alliance of Christian attorneys and like-minded organizations defending the right of people to freely live out their faith.
