The Supreme Court has the power to make decisions, and the Supreme Court also has the power to go back and vacate decisions. The thing to do is to stay true and not let yourself get knocked over by the capricious decision-making of others.
Libertarians, did you honestly believe the nation would have its Village People moment in a vacuum that would assure everyone else’s rights would be observed because, what? Hope, good wishes, and fairy dust?

"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." Sessions is right to the extent of the ruling. Alabama must follow the law UNLESS they invoke their 10th Amendment rights and make a stand. This is a good chance to push the nullification issue! Invoke the states right to nullify any Federal Law/Rule that goes against the wishes of the majority of the State.
That is why Sessions said it the way he did "They'll have to decide for themselves" -- take it lying down or fight for States Rights.

I like Jeff Sessions, but I think he is making a mistake here.
Numerous states are already in direct violation of federal law with regard to the promotion and facilitation of recreational marijuana use.
States that disagree with the gay marriage ruling should similarly follow their own course.

Why? The Federal Government no longer follows the laws it passes.
