- Ligne n°18 : October 10, 2014 Robert Mann Louisiana Politicsgay marriage, Louisiana, Martin Feldman, Plessy v Ferguson, same-sex marriage, U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, U.S. Supreme Court
Ligne n°19 : U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman ...- Ligne n°23 : No one knows for sure if the 5^th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will affirm U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman’s September decision that upheld Louisiana’s same-sex marriage ban. What we do know is that if any federal appeals court in the nation rules against same-sex marriage, it is likely to be a panel of ultra-conservative judges who make up the majority of the 5^th. Of course, it all depends on which individuals sit on that three-judge panel, or if all the court’s judges convene to consider the matter.

- Ligne n°25 : However the decision unfolds, the eyes of the nation’s constitutional scholars are now on the New Orleans-based court. If it reaffirms Louisiana’s constitutional amendment prohibiting same-sex marriage, it would likely be the case that finally prompts a full Supreme Court hearing of the question. If most legal scholars are to be trusted, it is apparent that a majority of the court would rule in favor of nationwide marriage equality, even in Louisiana.
- Ligne n°27 : On Monday, justices tacitly affirmed several appeals court rulings that declared unconstitutional five state laws — in Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin — that prohibit same-sex marriage. The following day, another federal appeals court found Idaho’s and Nevada’s same-sex marriage bans unconstitutional, adding at least two more states to the marriage equality list. In all, as many as 32 states — perhaps more — will soon allow same-sex couples to marry.

- Ligne n°31 : The bad news, of course, is that a Louisianian might be the last federal district judge in American history to rule against same-sex marriage. And a Louisiana-based federal appeals court could issue the final court ruling in our history that denies basic human rights to gays and lesbians.
