On Friday, the Alabama Supreme Court rejected the US Supreme Court's marriage opinion and basically told them to take a hike in favor of following the Alabama Constitution and Alabama law.
On March 4, 2016, the Alabama Supreme Court ordered that all probate judges cease and desist in issuing marriage licenses to sodomies.
The court issued its 170-page ruling in favor of Petition for Mandamus by Liberty Counsel.
Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel said, "The ruling last year by the Alabama Supreme Court was historic, and is one of the most researched and well-reasoned opinions on marriage to be issued by any court in the country. Today's opinion by the Alabama Supreme Court calling the U.S. Supreme Court's marriage opinion 'illegitimate' will be remembered in history like the 'shot heard around the world."
"The Alabama Supreme Court has openly rejected the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 marriage opinion, labeling it 'illegitimate' and without legal or precedential authority. This is a clear victory for the rule of law and an historic decision by the Alabama Supreme Court. The Judgement makes permanent the Alabama Supreme Court's order prohibiting probate judges from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The Alabama Supreme Court has rejected the illegitimate opinion of five lawyers on the U.S. Supreme Court," added Staver.
Both Chief Justice Roy Moore and Justice Tom Parker criticized the opinion of the Supreme Court in the Oberkfell case.
"I agree with the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, John Roberts, and with Associate Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito, that the majority opinion in Obergefell has no basis in the law, history, or tradition of this country," wrote Moore. "Obergefell is an unconstitutional exercise of judicial authority that usurps the legislative prerogative of the states to regulate their own domestic policy. Additionally, Obergefell seriously jeopardizes the religious liberty guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution."
He then went on to call out the judiciary's tyranny in their opinion.
"Based upon arguments of 'love,' 'commitment,' and 'equal dignity' for same-sex couples, five lawyers, as Chief Justice Roberts so aptly describes the Obergefell majority, have declared a new social policy for the entire country," Chief Justice Moore added. "As the Chief Justice and Associate Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito eloquently and accurately demonstrate in their dissents, the majority opinion in Obergefell is an act of raw power with no ascertainable foundation in the Constitution itself. The majority presumed to legislate for the entire country under the guise of interpreting the Constitution."
"The Obergefell majority presumes to amend the United States Constitution to create a right stated nowhere therein," he concluded. "That is a lawless act."
Moore also referenced the framers of the Constitution in his remarks.
"I submit that our Founders knew a lot more about freedom than [Justice Kennedy's opinion] indicates," Moore wrote. "They secured the freedoms we enjoy, not in judicial decrees of newly discovered rights, but in the Constitution and amendments thereto. That a majority of the Court may identify an "injustice" that merits constitutional correction does not dispense with the means the Constitution has provided in Article V for its own amendment."
"Although the Court could suggest that the Constitution would benefit from a particular amendment, the Court does not possess the authority to insert the amendment into the Constitution by the vehicle of a Court opinion and then to demand compliance with it."
Indeed, our founding fathers dealt quite harshly with sodomites. They would never have allowed these people to have a voice in the political process, much less advance an agenda to sodomize America by perverting the definition of marriage.
Justice Moore then gave wise counsel to sodomites who claim that they can engage in sodomy and be dignified in marriage.
"Historically, consummation of a marriage always involved an act of sexual intimacy that was dignified in the eyes of the law. An act of sexual intimacy between two men or two women, by contrast, was considered 'an infamous crime against nature' and a 'disgrace to human nature.' Homosexuals who seek the dignity of marriage must first forsake the sexual habits that disqualify them from admission to that hallowed institution. Surely more dignity attaches to participation in a fundamental institution on the terms it prescribes than to an attempt to wrest its definition to serve inordinate lusts that demean its historic dignity."
Indeed, I wish more people understood that liberty is not the ability to do what the law condemns, but to do what is right before our Creator. May God bless the Alabama Supreme Court!
Matt Staver concluded, "Justices and judges are bound to interpret the U.S. Constitution. When they write opinions that have no legal foundation, then their opinions lack legal legitimacy. That is what the five lawyers did on the U.S. Supreme Court in the marriage opinion. They ignored the Constitution, the Court's precedents, and millennia of human history. Their opinion calls into question the legitimacy of the Supreme Court. When we the people lose trust in the Justices, the authority of the Supreme Court is undermined. If the people accept this 5-4 opinion, then we have transitioned to a despotic form of government. The people must now decide if we are governed by the rule of law or the whim of unelected judges."
Placing homosexuals and lesbians atop a pedestal to be honored as a third sex...and by the phony occupant of the Black Hut....was a serious miscalculation.
These perverts are more hated and despised than ever before.
Civil war is brewing.
Excellent decision by the Alabama SC. The same argument can be made for Roe v Wade.
The “TENTH” prevails.
It’s not much different from illegal immigration (which I’m sure the SC would “legalize” with one more hack liberal “judge”). You can’t get the people to vote for it in any state, the Congress won’t vote for it, so democrat “judges” pretend it’s the new law. And the people are so dumbed down and frightened, most just shrug and say oh well.
Wow. First I’ve heard this. Going to hunt for the opinion. I would think something like this would have made a big splash in the press when the opinion and order came down last week.
Moore for SCOTUS.
It is time for states to say to the SCOTUS screw you.
This was a disgrace .
Two SCOTUS judges had been or officiated a sham homo marriage and therefore had a conflict of interest and should have recused themselves.
Other states need to follow, but I guess non one has any balls anymore to do that.
I know this family and many others around here will never accept them as married or as a family, no matter how much they try and play happy families and destroy a young child.
But Tim Cook “loves” his partner’s rear end and deserves to pretend they are a married couple. /s I’m so sick of this nonsense. Yeah I “love” my friends maybe I would die for them, it doesn’t mean I have to marry them.
Congratulations Alabama! Civil unions solve the problem.
The Alabama Supreme Court this morning dismissed petitions by the Alabama Policy Institute, the Alabama Citizens Action Program and Elmore County's probate judge that had sought a landmark ruling declaring the state's prohibition on gay marriage still stands in defiance of the U.S. Supreme Court.Alabama Supreme Court dismisses petitions opposing gay marriage | AL.com | March 4, 2016Today's ruling means same-sex marriage is still intact in Alabama and the petitions challenging it are tossed.
Alabama prevails by actually using the 10th.
Other states should follow suit.
Wow. Just wow. This is righteousness.
Don’t understand the conflicting info.
Can only hope.
One of the two reports is flat out wrong on a fundamental point, the ultimate conclusion of the Alabama Supreme Court. The article I linked to quotes parts of the Alabama Supreme Court decision, and I think that article has it correct.
Do you mean you actually think there’s something wrong with a guy shoving his pee-pee up another guy’s poo-poo?
By doing this the shover is demonstrating true love.
It’s these one night stand dudes who look upon the anus as a whorehouse that makes homosexuality and lesbianism appear unwholesome.
Ironies of ironies. Libs love to portray the south for being backwards, ignorant, and uneducated.
But it takes a southern state to throw the BS flag on the sodomite agenda.
Bravo!
Ping for later
C'mon, you don't know that.
There is no evidence one way or another whether he pitches, catches, or both. Who knows, perhaps he just likes pipe smoking.
Does it really matter what sexual perversion Tim Cook prefers? His a homosexual who supports faux homosexual marriage. Rather than respect the institution of marriage and its role as the pillar of society, he wants to impose his view on the world.
The sarcasm is implied...
