Judges dismantle arguments against Ind., Wis. marriage bans

A three-judge panel of a federal appeals court last week expressed strong skepticism over the constitutionality of Indiana's and Wisconsin's marriage equality bans. The judges harshly questioned attorneys defending the ban and disputed the idea that the bans were not causing harm to adopted children of same-sex couples. The panel's ruling will likely be appealed to the Supreme Court.
