Another loss for same-sex licenses
[Joline Gutierrez Krueger- Albuquerque Tribune]
The battle over issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples rages on after a Sandoval County judge dismissed two motions that could have cleared the way for wedding bells for gay partners to ring anew.
"It's a very weak case that they have and we are still hopeful," Sandoval County Clerk Victoria Dunlap said Wednesday after losing the latest round with Attorney General Patricia Madrid.
Dunlap now has 10 days to file an answer to Madrid's amended complaint, which asks a judge to prohibit Dunlap from issuing same-sex licenses unless or until state laws change or until the practice of not doing so is ruled unconstitutional.
Both parties will then likely enter mediation proceedings, Assistant Attorney General Christopher Coppin said.
