A federal judge ruled against a temporary restraining order filed by several island religious institutions to temporarily block the civil unions law taking effect on the new year.
Judge Seabright delivered the motion denying the TRO against the State of Hawaii.
The plaintiffs in that case, represented by Attorney Shawn Ruiz, include: Emmanuel Temple, the House of Praise, its pastor, and the lighthouse Outreach Center Assembly of God.
