Sen. Jeff Sessions said today that Alabama will "ultimately have to follow the law" on the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage, even though he strongly disagrees with it.

Sessions was asked about the resistance by some judicial officials in Alabama to granting marriage licenses to same-sex couples after the court's 5-4 ruling that state bans on gay marriage violate the Constitution.

Sessions did not say specifically how officials in Alabama should proceed.

"Ultimately they'll have to follow the law," the senator said. "The question of what that means and exactly what that requires them to do, I guess they'll have to decide for themselves and seek their own legal counsel."

You’re right. Our survival as a nation of free and moral people is extremely doubtful, at best. Resist the Left,anyway.

Who cares if it’s “the law”. The “law” is ignored daily by the president on down.

To hell with the “law” when it’s one-sided and only enforced when it’s convienient.
