I want to know who did what to this judge in Iowa... And I quote:
"DES MOINES (Reuters) - Gay couples lined up before dawn on Friday to apply for marriage licenses until an Iowa judge, who set off the rush to the altar by scuttling the state's law against same-sex marriage, put a halt to their bliss.
"Less than 24 hours after starting the marriage stampede, Judge Robert Hanson of the Polk County District Court issued a stay to his own ruling that had said Iowa's law restricting marriage to a man and a woman was unconstitutional.
"On Friday Hanson ordered that no more marriage licenses be issued to gay couples at the request of a county prosecutor who wanted a halt until Iowa's Supreme Court can rule on the prosecutor's appeal.
"But two Iowa State University students, Sean Fritz, 24, and Tim McQuillan, 21, beat the judge's stay and got their license, with a waiver bypassing the usual three-day waiting period.
"Then they rushed off and found a Unitarian minister to unite them in a brief ceremony in the front yard of his Des Moines home."
The rest is here.
