The federal judge who struck down Nebraska's constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage now has ordered the state the pay the legal fees of the gay couples who took the ban to court.

U.S. District Judge Joseph Bataillon's order requires Nebraska to pay the nearly $157,000 incurred by Lambda Legal and the ACLU's Lesbian and Gay Project.

He then stayed the ruling until all appeals in the case are completed. If the state continues to lose in court it could be on the hook for more than three times the amount. But, Bataillon's award would be reversed if the state wins on appeal.

Au contraire, ever hear of a cry to raise taxes due to those "yucky" homosexuals causing the great and glorious State of Nebraska to incur all those necessary and reasonable court costs, attorney's costs, etc.? After all, the majority of Nebraskans who voted, voted in these laws, correct? Shouldn't they be willing to pay more in taxes in order to cover the costs incurred?

ROFL . . . indeed. How stupid can it get? It may take more, much more than high legal costs since this is religion based. You remember? "God said it, I believe it, end of story!"

So goes ignorance. And the red states mentality back more than 100 to 150 years ago.
