OneNewsNow.com (6/25): ADF attorney Austin R. Nimocks says the law flies in the face of Wisconsin voters. “Marriage provides a strong foundation for a thriving society,” says Nimocks. “That’s why they approved a constitutional amendment that specifically protects marriage from all imitators. Politicians and activist groups should not be allowed to get around that — and we will appeal this decision because this domestic partnership scheme is precisely the type of marriage imitation that the voters intended to prevent.”

That’s why they approved a constitutional amendment that specifically protects marriage from all imitators. Politicians and activist groups should not be allowed to get around that,” says ADF Senior Legal Counsel Austin R. Nimocks. “We will appeal this decision because this domestic partnership scheme is precisely the type of marriage imitation that the voters intended to prevent.”
