NEW CHANGES .... But Judge Schmidt and the state of Illinois saw matters differently. Last month, Governor Pat Quinn said Catholic Charities "made a choice" to ignore the state's non-discrimination laws with its practice of denying adoption or foster care placements for same-sex couples in civil unions. Quinn added the state is "not going back" to entering into contracts worth $30 million with the agencies should they continue that practice.

Schmidt, on those grounds, noted: "No citizen has a recognized legal right to a contract with the government."
