A mling by a San Anto-
nio federal court on Feb.
26 moved a hot-button is-
sue front and center, giving
candidates a last-minute op-
portunity to delineate their
stand. In a case brought by
two same-sex couples, San
Antonio U.S. District Judge
Orlando Garcia declared
unconstitutional the Texas
law and a related state con-
stitutional amendment that
prohibit same-sex marriage
and the recognition of out-of-
state same-sex marriages. On
page 46 of his ruling, Garcia
wrote, “Equal treatment of
all individuals under the law
is not merely an aspiration —
it is a constitutional mandate.
Consequently, equal protec-
tion is at the heart of our legal
system and i s essential for the
existence of a free society.”
Right away, however, Gar-
cia placed a stay on his order
preventing the state from en-
forcing those laws, pending

There are “good, well-

Attorney General and GOP

Texas Constitution defines
marriage as between one man
