They’re crashing the wedding party.
Opponents of same-sex marriage filed the first lawsuit against the New York state measure yesterday, attacking politicians who allegedly violated open-meetings laws — and had the nerve to turn off their cellphones.
A coalition of clergymen, under the umbrella of New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms, wants the Marriage Equality Act thrown out, arguing that state senators cut illegal back-room deals.
The plaintiffs were particularly miffed that swing-vote Republicans allegedly turned off their mobile phones on June 24, the day of the historic vote.
“Republican senators turned their cellphones off so that neither the public nor their staff could reach them,” wrote Rena Lindevaldsen, the coalition’s lawyer, of Lynchburg, Va.
Joshua Vlasto, a spokesman for Gov. Cuomo, scoffed, “The plaintiffs lack a basic understanding of the laws of the state of New York. The suit is without merit.”
