Changing The Law In A New York Minute

With gay marriage now the law in New York, a group of religious leaders are now suing the state because the law violates their constitutional rights and they're demanding an immediate injunction against any more same-sex marriages.

New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms filed the lawsuit in state court in Livingston County where one of the plaintiffs, Reverend Jason McGuire, lives.

The lawsuit says it seeks to "preserve not only marriage as the union of one woman to one man, but also our constitutional liberties" which were allegedly violated by the voting procedures in the state assembly during approval of the law.

The group states that it was founded in 1982 by pastors "concerned about religious liberties and moral values in New York State."

Same-sex marriage violates the constitutional rights of people who don't like gay marriage?  That's the worst legal argument I think I've heard in a very long time.  At what point does a judge laugh this one out of the court system?  Furthermore, at what point were the procedures of the New York legislature violated?

This is beyond sour grapes, this is trying to nullify a law just because you don't agree with it.  I hope the legal system is merciless with these fools.
