And there it is! The law was political. Aimed at keeping the prejudices of constituents.

Further, the state was was not the defendant in this case, it was an intervenor.* And just as bad,

Jeff LeMaster, Griffin’s communications director, said the office was “reviewing the opinion and will appeal.”

You haven't completed a review but announced you will appeal? Again proving the case was political.

The decision: https://www.au.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Summary-Judgment-Stinson-v.-Fayetteville-SD-No.-1-3.16.26.pdf

* Intervenor: A third party not in the lawsuit who voluntarily enters a legal proceeding because it has a personal stake or significant interest in the outcome.
