PA Judge Orders Montgomery County To Stop Issuing Same-Sex Marriage Licenses

Breaking news from ABC's Philadelphia affiliate:

A Pennsylvania judge is stopping a suburban Philadelphia court clerk from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, saying it was a clear violation of his legal authority. Commonwealth Court Judge Dan Pellegrini on Thursday issued an order that said Montgomery County Register of Wills Bruce Hanes didn't have the power to decide on his own whether the same-sex marriage ban violates the state constitution. Hanes issued four more licenses to same-sex couples on Wednesday, bringing the total number to 174.

Some of those couples are JMG participants. I'll update this post as more information comes in. (Tipped by JMG reader Ed)

UPDATE: Here's the full ruling.
