Morphine Prince 109,976 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (CNN) - Alabama's chief justice on Wednesday directed probate judges in the state to enforce the state's ban on same-sex marriage, seven months after a landmark Supreme Court ruling legalized gay and lesbian nuptials nationwide. "Until further decision by the Alabama Supreme Court, the existing orders of the Alabama Supreme Court that Alabama probate judges have a ministerial duty not to issue any marriage license contrary to the Alabama Sanctity of Marriage Amendment or the Alabama Marriage Protection Act remain in full force and effect," Roy Moore wrote in an administrative order. Moore points out that the Supreme Court decision, Obergefell v. Hodges, was targeted at Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee and that the U.S. Supreme Court did not specifically address the Alabama ban.

FATCAT 60,949 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 It's just temporary, he can't enforce this. It's only a matter of days before it's overturned and the guy will be impeached or jailed. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcoop 628 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Too bad that when federal and state law clash, federal law trumps. What this Chief Justice is doing is pure show, and he knows it. He wants to look like a hero to the anti-gay marriage constituents. Too bad, so sad. His order will be reversed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow 6,707 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 When state law clashes with federal law, the Feds always win due to the Supremacy Clause. Federal law preempts state, thus it is the "supreme law of the land." This Alabama Judge volunteered to be a guaranteed loser. Stand in the light, cast your shadow.
