I'm glad that the federal court didn't order Pryor to take off his clothes and quack like a duck, because I guess we're all required to obey a federal court ruling no matter how ridiculous or how legally unfounded that ruling may be.

That's not what I'm arguing. The poster of this thread claimed that Pryor was not following the law, and I am demostrating that he is, in fact, following the law as it stands in this day and age. The real gripe against Pryor is that he is, in fact, following the law as laid down by a federal judge, when his opponents wish he tell the feds to stuff it.

Actually I think you missed the point of the "quack like a duck" reference. Would there be _any_ federal order that a state judge should not obey? Is there _ever_ a time to follow a higher law and ignore the temporal one?

So, in essense, Pryor was protecting his own butt, regardless of how he may have personally felt about the federal ruling that he was ordered to carry out.
