Ga. Top Court Reinstates Gay Marriage Ban
By SHANNON McCAFFREY

ATLANTA (AP) -- The state Supreme Court reinstated Georgia's constitutional ban on gay marriage Thursday, just hours after New York's highest court upheld that state's gay-marriage ban.
The Georgia Supreme Court, reversing a lower court judge's ruling, decided unanimously that the ban did not violate the state's single-subject rule for ballot measures. Superior Court Judge Constance Russell of Fulton County had ruled that it did.
No link to the opinion itself, but it appears this case was decided on a technicality regarding the ballot issue, and Georgia's top court didn't have to lay down the line of bullshit that New York's Court of Appeals had to.
