SAN ANTONIO — A federal judge in San Antonio has declared Texas' ban on gay marriage unconstitutional.

U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia, however, also issued a stay, meaning the ban stays in effect for the time being.

One lesbian couple had to go to Massachusetts to get married, and they want Texas to recognize the union.

A second gay couple have a courtship of 17 years and want to get married here in their home state.

Both sued the state in federal court aiming to overturn the ban on same-sex marriage, saying it is unconstitutional.

Why can't Texas just ignore the ruling and go with their democratic process? I mean Obama can ignore immigration law and his own healthcare law. So why can't Perry ignore the court. What recourse does a court have? It can't withhold money? It doesn't have any real power

Well, the President could send in the national guard, kind like Johnson had to do the last time the Republicans tried to do something like that.

So you at saying judges trump all and the other branches have no say? No recourse?

Seems like government inequality if you ask me.
