On May 12, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska announced its decision in favor of the plaintiffs in Citizens for Equal Protection v. Bruning, thus overturning Nebraska Initiative Measure 416 based on the Equal Protection Clause, the First Amendment, and the Contract Clause's prohibition on bills of attainder. Judge Joseph F. Bataillon's decision concluded that Nebraska had no rational basis in denying gays and lesbians marriage licenses. On July 14, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit overturned Judge Bataillon's decision and ruled that "laws limiting the state-recognized institution of marriage to heterosexual couples ... do not violate the Constitution of the United States."
