Scott Walker, J.B. Van Hollen appeal gay marriage ruling
Source: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Madison — Gov. Scott Walker and Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen on Thursday appealed a decision from last month that struck down Wisconsin's ban on same-sex marriage.
The two Republicans filed a two-page notice of appeal that will soon be followed up with a full brief explaining their legal arguments.
U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb in June found the state's gay marriage ban violated the U.S. Constitution, but she stayed her order so Van Hollen and Walker could pursue an appeal.

...but it's not political, really it's not, my son even stood up at a gay wedding before we challenged the ruling.
