The Wisconsin AG Office it has filed a brief asking the Court of Appeals to affirm the decision of a County Circuit Court, which ruled that a marriage amendment ballot question was not unconstitutional. The brief asks the Court to determine if the marriage amendment question presented to voters in the November, 2006 election met the state's requirements for amending its Constitution. In the case of McConkey v. Van Hollen, County Circuit Court Judge Richard Niess ruled that the ballot question did not violate the requirement that a question only contains one amendment. Voters approved the amendment in 2006. Attorney General Van Hollen is asking that the Court of Appeals affirm Judge Niess's ruling on the matter.
