WND also reported just weeks ago when dozens of top legal scholars from the likes of Washington & Lee, Boston College, Kansas State, Notre Dame, University of Texas, Villanova, Vanderbilt, Hillsdale, University of Nebraska, Catholic University and Regent University issued a statement encouraging all state and federal officials to treat the Supreme Court's recent creation of "same-sex marriage" as "anti-constitutional and illegitimate."
"It cannot ... be taken to have settled the law of the United States," said the statement from the American Principles Project.
"We call on all federal and state officeholders: To refuse to accept Obergefell as binding precedent for all but the specific plaintiffs in that case. To recognize the authority of states to define marriage, and the right of federal and state officeholders to act in accordance with those definitions. To pledge full and mutual legal and political assistance to anyone who refuses to follow Obergefell for constitutionally protected reasons. To open forthwith a broad and honest conversation on the means by which Americans may constitutionally resist and overturn the judicial usurpations evidence in Obergefell."

I love Roy Moore. If the Republicans give me a candidate I cannot support, I am writing in Roy Moore for President.

The feds have NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY to meddle with marriage. Marriage is an individual and state issue.
States: NULLIFY THE TYRANNY OF UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL ACTS AND DECISIONS.

Roy Moore’s order actually affirms both a prior decision by the State Supreme Court and Alabama State Law... it is not an ad hoc order, though is being portrayed in that manner by other media.
In other words, he is declaring that the existing law should be followed... as opposed to the actions of other courts or Obama, which have been creating law out of thin air.

I DON'T FIND MARRIAGE ANYWHERE IN THE FEDERAL ENUMBERATED POWERS GRANTED TO THEM BY THE US CONSITUTION. All other matter belong to the individual states.

Good on Roy Moore.
If the SCOTUS makes an unconstitutional decision, the states and the people are not obligated to obey it.

The fundamental definition being one man, one woman was federal for Utah. They had to ban polygamy as a condition to join the Union.

Let’s bring this issue and the 2nd amendment to a head. As our brethren in Oregon are doing re: government land grabs....we must stick together.
The fakir in the White Hut is attempting to destroy America by destroying the constitution. Time to double down.

Well, it’s about time someone asserted state sovereignty over this Federal tyranny. Our milquetoast Governor and panty-waist AG sure aren’t going to do so.

That’s why SCOTUS recast the issue as one of individual rights protected by the 14th amendment. It gets around the “marriage isn’t an enumerated federal power” issue.

The fundamental definition being one man, one woman was federal for Utah. They had to ban polygamy as a condition to join the Union. It was the will of congress for a state which was courting the Union. That is a very different thing from asserting the Feds have a right to decide it. Without something to hang over Utah, they couldn't have made them comply.
