THIS IS WHAT WE GET FOR LETTING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SPOT GO UNCHALLENGED!
RALEIGH — A suit initially challenging the state's adoption laws is on the verge of becoming a full-fledged legal attack on North Carolina's one-man/one-woman definition of marriage, as Attorney General Roy Cooper's office has announced that it will not oppose a motion filed by the American Civil Liberties Union to expand the case.
Noelle Talley, a Department of Justice information officer, told the media late last week that because litigation was expected on both issues, combining them into one case would be more efficient.
But Tami Fitzgerald, chairwoman for Vote for Marriage NC, pointed out that the people of North Carolina passed the marriage amendment by 61 percent, and said "they deserve better from their Attorney General."
"The case has been before the judge now for nine months on a motion to dismiss," Fitzgerald said. "Roy Cooper is making a misguided decision for the people of North Carolina."
She further explained that the constitutionality of the amendment is outside the scope of a lawsuit regarding adoption by gay couples.
