Filing 702269895 Filed opinion of the court by Judge Easterbrook. The judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded with instructions to issue an injunction allowing certified secular humanist celebrants to solemnize marriages in Indiana to do this with legal effect, and without risk of criminal penalties. That is the relief plaintiffs request, and defendants have not made a counterproposal. If Indiana amends its statute to allow notaries to solemnize marriages, the district court should be receptive to a motion to modify the injunction under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(5) to minimize the extent to which a federal decree supersedes the state s own solution to the problems we have identified. Richard A. Posner, Circuit Judge; Frank H. Easterbrook, Circuit Judge and Ann Claire Williams, Circuit Judge. [6589710-1] [6589710] [12-3751] |
