ADJUDICATE

"Judge Callahan presides over the 302nd Family District Court, which is also the "divorce court." As far as I can tell from reading both Texas and Florida statutes, the circumstances surrounding divorce of any type are not criminal matters. This is therefore a civil court, to decide issues of contracts, benefits and joint property dispositions. The men in question were apparently married in another state and live in Texas, whose constitution does not recognize same-sex marriage. It does, however, recognize contract law; my guess, and this is only a guess, is that the civil rules allow for a judge to ADJUDICATE SEPARATION CASES between people who are not legally married under Texas law, and her claiming jurisdiction by stating that Texas' ban on same-sex marriage violates the TX Constitution's equal protection clause is lagniappe."

"A DECREE is a rule of law issued by a head of state (such as the president of a republic), according to certain procedures (usually established in a constitution). It has the force of law. The particular term used for this concept may VARY FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY — the executive orders made by the President of the United States, for example, are DECREES (although a DECREE is not exactly an order). In non-legal English usage, however, the term refers to any authoritarian decision and, in this sense, it is often derogatory."
