Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum announced today that she will not defend the state against the marriage equality lawsuit filed in federal court in October.
Rosenblum said that she will continue to enforce the gay marriage ban until the court rules, but added that the ban "cannot withstand a federal constitutional challenge under any standard of review."
Several state Attorney Generals across the country have taken several steps regarding state bans on marriage equality. In Pennsylvania, Virginia, Nevada and more, the AG's say the laws are unconstitutional and can't withstand court fights.
A Democrat, Rosenblum is the state's first female Attorney General.
