Alabama declares US Constitution as worthless piece of paper |

Posted by SelkirkTMO on Wed Mar 4 02:15:07 2015 Oooooooooo! And I get to play Olog here by bolding and underlining! (grin)Alabama high court orders halt to same-sex marriage licenses (Reuters) - The Alabama Supreme Court ordered probate judges on Tuesday to stop issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples in apparent defiance of the U.S. Supreme Court, underscoring the depth of opposition to gay matrimony in the socially conservative state. The 7-1 ruling comes roughly three weeks after U.S. District Judge Callie Granade's decision overturning Alabama's ban on gay marriage went into effect after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to put it on hold. "As it has done for approximately two centuries, Alabama law allows for 'marriage' between only one man and one woman," Tuesday's state supreme court ruling said. "Alabama probate judges have a ministerial duty not to issue any marriage license contrary to this law. "Nothing in the United States Constitution alters or overrides this duty." (woo-hoo! Feels good, man!) The U.S. Supreme Court agreed this year to take up the issue of whether states can ban gay marriage. Its expected ruling in June likely will provide clarity on the issue in Alabama, as well as the 13 states where gay marriage remains illegal. The Alabama high court ruling, which granted an emergency petition by two Alabama groups opposed to gay marriage, will likely not affect those same-sex couples in Alabama who have already received marriage licenses, said Ronald Krotoszynski, a constitutional law expert at the University of Alabama School of Law. Abstaining from the ruling was the court's conservative chief justice, Roy Moore, a political lightning rod who last month ordered the state's probate judges not to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, a directive initially followed by most local judges. Before Tuesday's ruling, only a handful of probate judges in the state's 67 counties were still refusing licenses to gay couples, many of them swayed by an order by Granade directing Mobile County's probate judge Don Davis to begin issuing the licenses. Davis was ordered in Tuesday's ruling to report to Alabama's high court whether he considers himself bound by Granade's order. Gay rights advocates were critical of the ruling. "It is deeply unfortunate that even as nationwide marriage equality is on the horizon, the Alabama Supreme Court is determined to be on the wrong side of history," the National Center for Lesbian Rights said in a statement. "The only question is not whether marriage equality will return to Alabama, but how quickly." A spokeswoman for Alabama Governor Robert Bentley, a Republican opposed to gay marriage, did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. A spokeswoman for Attorney General Luther Strange, also a Republican gay marriage foe, said his office had no comment. (Reporting by Jonathan Kaminsky in New Orleans; Editing by Cynthia Johnston and Bill Trott) --- "Ministerial duty"?!?!?! Isn't that an establishment of an official government church in violation of that worthless piece of paper's "Article 1"? Aw nevermind, it the Confederate States of America, not the U.S. What was I thinking? :) |

Attack on Free Exercise Clause by SatanTMO = FAIL.Are you going to finally come out and declare your disbelief in God once and for all? You clearly regard the USSC as a higher authority. And "ministerial duty" is not relegated to religious, but always has been political, unless of course you have your head in the sand 23/7 and think that Westminster's parliament is full of priests or something. (dand124: don't bother labeling this response "terror", you stalker you.) |

By your incessant rantings to this site, I believe it is YOU that reject Jesus' teachings as well as the intent of the framers of the Constitution who believed that God should be left entirely out of government and its edicts and that each individual person has the God-given choice of "free will" to worship their OWN God, whether they felt that God to be a hairy thunderer, or a cosmic muffin, or no God at all. You sir should move to the Middle East where you can be amongst your own. May I suggest the northeast provinces of the former Iraq? Near Syria? You'd fit right in. And for the record, I'm a faithful Roman Catholic so stick it. |

Putting up with Train Dude. :)If I actually post what it was, that would be sort of disclosing a wish when blowing out candles and making one. Have faith that I gave up something that I truly miss as a sacrifice, that's what it's about. And I won't make any comments about yours. Moo. |

Only good thing about helping third-world countries is they won't turn to Islam. Let the Latinos in Central Islip and Ruskin help. China is a country that deserves a terrible catastrophe. Tsunami. They are nasty people. |

A "faithful Roman Catholic" like Pelosi, Biden and Kerry? LOL indeed. You'd be burned at the stake by real Catholics. No faithful Catholic would ever stand for an attack on the Church's dogma on marriage. |
