Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox has joined with the attorneys general of nine other states to urge the California Supreme Court to hold off its ruling on whether same-sex marriages in the state should be legalized.
The attorneys general representing Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Nebraska, New Hampshire, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah, along with Cox, have filed a brief asking the court to delay its ruling because they need to determine if their states would have to legally recognize the marriages of gay couples married in California.
"Each state makes and unmakes its own marriage and domestic relations laws as it sees fits," read a legal brief signed by Cox on Wednesday.
"What our proposed brief does, and all it does, is bring to this Court's attention some genuine concerns regarding the administration of justice in California's sister states."
Mike Cox. Bad for families. Bad for business. At a time when we should be fighting for every dime we can bring into Michigan, Cox lets everyone know that certain people are not welcome here. Someone please keep him away from the advertising department, OK?
