Less than two weeks
after hearing oral arguments in the marriage equality cases involving Indiana and Wisconsin a 3-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit
unanimously upheld the lower court rulings in Wolf v. Walker (Wisconsin) and Baskin v. Bogan (Indiana), in
a scathing opinion written by Judge
Richard Posner striking down state marriage bans as violating the federal constitution. The 7th becomes the third federal appellate court, after the 10th in Denver, CO (
June 25 and
July 18)and
the 4th in Richmond, VA (July 28) to rule in favor of marriage equality this year.
