“How can they ignore Judge Moore’s order?”
A federal judge overruled him.
A federal judge overruled him.
A Federal judge doesn't have the authority. That's his point. Marriage isn't mentioned in the Constitution, and the Federal Constitution says the Federal government has no authority over what isn't mentioned. This is the battle to fight, for as long as it takes. This, and every single Federal overreach—starting with the ones easiest to frustrate and proceeding to the more daunting.
The state should indeed go about removing those judges. The people should demand it without ceasing until they do. Etc. Persist, persist, persist. That's how these wars are won—let it start here.
Despite the hope-filled headline, I don't notice Judge Moore crumbling.
