Sorry it took me a couple days to get to this one! U.S. District Court Judge John Jones III ruled yesterday against Pennsylvania's DOMA law, claiming that it is unconstitutional and that it violates the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It was
unclear to me if they were going to appeal that decision, which is why I didn't immediately post about this decision. But we learned earlier this afternoon that Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett's administration
will not appeal yesterday's decision.
That means that
Pennsylvania is now the 19th marriage equality state -- plus Washington DC plus eight different Native American tribal governments!!
