Court gets it right!

Oregon's High Court Negates Homosexual 'Marriage' Licenses
Homosexual "marriage" may be on life support -- so says a Christian attorney in reaction to today's ruling by Oregon's highest court that invalidates thousands of marriage licenses handed out in one county last year.
Upwards of 3,000 homosexual couples who thought they were legally married were told by the Oregon Supreme Court on Thursday morning that they aren't. The high court has nullified marriage licenses that were issued to same-sex couples in Multnomah County over a six-week period beginning last April. The county had no authority to do so, said the court, explaining that while a county can question the constitutionality of law concerning marriage, the laws are a matter of statewide concern.
