Fla. Bar support in gay adoption case upheld (Liberty Counsel says it violates their rights!)
Fla. Bar support in gay adoption case upheld

(Tallahassee, Fl.) The state Supreme Court has rejected a challenge to the Florida Bar’s right to oppose the state’s ban on gay adoption.

Liberty Counsel, a faith-based legal group, had asked the high court to prohibit the bar’s Family Law Section from filing a friend of the court brief in an appellate court that was considering Florida’s ban of adoptions by homosexuals. The justices ruled 5-2 in the case on Thursday.

The bar brief supported a trial judge’s ruling that declared the ban unconstitutional. That decision is on appeal to the 3rd District Court of Appeal in Miami.

The high court majority ruled Liberty Counsel failed to show the brief violated its constitutional rights or that the bar broke its own rules.

3. Hah!!! Faith-based law.
It's almost funny, but then Saudi Arabia, Iran and a couple of others come to mind.
