Cooper refuses to do his job. Fire his butt! It doesn't matter if he agrees with the law he still has to defend the state.


He knows he would be fighting a losing battle, why waste tax dollars when you know you'll lose anyway?

So we need to also just quit listening to this pro choice crap as the courts have already decided that issue too. Everyone is for whatever pushes their beliefs onto others but curse you if you disagree with their beliefs,

Last I checked the courts and the legislators are separate branches of the government. Cooper refuses to do his job

Following a federal appeals court ruling Monday that Virginia's same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper said his office would no longer oppose challenges to the state's constitutional amendment outlawing same-sex marriage.

A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., ruled that Virginia's constitutional and statutory provisions barring gay marriage and denying recognition of such unions performed in other states violate the U.S. Constitution. The Virginia gay marriage case is the latest in a string of decisions overturning bans across the country and is one of several that could go to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The 4th Circuit Court presides over Virginia, West Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Maryland.
