Sunday morning, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal appeared on Meet The Press, throwing his support behind Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell, who said in a statement, “it found nothing in the decision that makes the court’s order effective immediately.”

The decision to legalize same sex marriage is being called a victory for same sex couples across the United States.  However, Louisiana is taking a solo stance on the issue. It’s the only state to halt giving marriage certificates to same sex couples, something Tulane Law Professor Stephen Griffin said won’t last long.

“A Louisiana ban on gay marriage is invalid,” he said. “There is no further legal process to make that decision.”

Jindal said the next steps will be to appeal the ruling, but adhere to the government.

“I strongly disagree with the court’s ruling,” he said. “We have no choice. We are going to comply with the court’s order.”

Griffin said if the high court accepted a motion for reconsideration, that would be the only way the state could maintain its current ban on gay marriage.  Griffin also said that isn’t likely.

“I think that is what he is talking about. It might be filed by another group with the Supreme Court. As far as I know, until the court acts on that, the decision is in effect.”

Gov. Jindal said, “I think it is wrong for the federal government to force Christian individuals to participate in wedding ceremonies that violate our religious beliefs.”
