FRC's Tony Perkins Praises Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Panel
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled that same-sex "marriage" may not be imposed on California while the court considers the constitutionality of marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins made the following comments:
"Today the 9th Circuit took the first step in doing the right thing for the people of California and the tens of millions across the United States who not only believe in true marriage but also in the rule of law. 'Tony Perkins praises the Ninth Circuit' is not a headline I thought I would ever live to see, but even the notoriously liberal Ninth Circuit understood the chaos Judge Walker had recklessly unleashed.
"The next step for the court, if it wants to keep its streak of sobered judgment, is to throw out Judge Walker's entire ruling. Ultimately, we are confident that the courts will recognize marriage, as correctly defined, has never violated any constitutional provision," concluded Perkins.
