Judge Strikes Alaska Down

In 1998 a state constitutional amendment was passed stating or defining a marriage was between one man and one woman. This was overruled on Sunday when U.S. District Judge Timothy Burgess stated “the ban violates the U.S. constitutional guarantee of due process and equal protection”. As one of the defendants with Gov. Sean Parnell, Attorney General Michael Geraghty stated he would continue to defend the state's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. As in Nevada and Idaho, Alaska can appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court but will probably have the same results of being overruled as in these other states.

This is a hot topic now as a few judges are overruling the say and vote of the people, stating that it’s unconstitutional. I found this on the Aljazeera site. At first from the title I thought that this would be fallacious. Then after reading the article I found this to be Cogent due to stating facts and having valid reasoning and the reasoning being warranted.
