It is unknown whether other county clerks would resign, but Democratic clerks rushed to change marriage license forms to be "gender neutral" (i.e. spouse 1, spouse 2).

"I think everybody expected it (the Supreme Court decision) to go the other way.”

Maybe the NM supreme court does "go the other way."

They should announce that they will not comply with the rogue court

Good for her to stand on principle. Now the Democrats will just appoint a stooge to do it though. The NM SC is communistic.

Bob Hope after the passage of the 1975 Consenting Adult Sex Bill: “I’ve just flown in from California, where they’ve made homosexality legal. I thought I’d get out before they make it compulsory.”

The Roosevelt County clerk and her deputy resigned Friday to avoid issuing same-sex marriage licenses as required by the New Mexico Supreme Court’s landmark opinion Thursday legalizing same-sex marriage statewide.

Who are these leftist lawyers in black robes with disordered minds? How did they got on the New Mexico Supreme Court? Can they be recalled? Do they not have to know anything about basic Biology 101, science, and natural law?

Been to Portalis. This is a very small population.

Portales is a decent place. It is a pity the rest of NM is ruled by liberal hippies and liberal hispanics.

I'm experienced at marriage - once for 5 years, once for 25.5 years.

As far as I'm concerned, anyone who wants that crap should be allowed to get it.

Shouldn't have quit; should've just told the court to pound sand.

Then she would have gotten arrested, and conservatives would've leapt to her defense and spotlighted the issue.

WI has an air-tight, state constitutional ban on homo marriage that was upheld by our Supremes. If any activist judge strikes it down, there will be backlash.

“They did the right thing by resigning,” said Ivey-Soto, a Democratic state senator from Albuquerque. “They recognized that being a county clerk means following the law.”

God Bless you 2!!!!!!
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Wise decision, thus avoiding many stomach-churning experiences that would give one nightmares.

If more people would stand up to this insanity, it could be stopped dead in its tracks. But most instead just ‘go along to get along.’

Sadly these clerks will pay a price for commitment; the people of NM will strongly endorse gaydom.
