SAME-SEX VOTE FOES WIN A ROUND IN LA.: From the New Orleans Times-Picayune

A New Orleans judge has ruled that a scheduled Sept. 18 vote on a proposed state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.

Following the late Friday decision by Civil District Judge Christopher Bruno, the case will be heard by an appeals court on Monday and the matter will likely be resolved in the state Supreme Court.

In his decision, Bruno said the proposed amendment is unconstitutional because it doesn't confine itself to a single issue. He also ruled that the amendment couldn't be on the ballot because Sept. 18 is not a statewide election.
