A judge's decision to limit defendants in a case involving a ban on same-sex marriage in Georgia was blasted Thursday by the marriage ban's original sponsor. Sen. Mike Crotts, a Republican from Conyers who sponsored the state's constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage and civil unions, said he and any other interested lawmakers should be free to join the governor in defending the amendment, which was overwhelmingly approved by voters last November. A group of gay rights supporters has challenged the amendment in court, saying it was misleading because voters saw only part of the new constitutional language.
