This is a 25 minute long video. It's well worth listening to instead of reading the parts the liberals want you to hear. Judge Moore made many excellent points. Cuomo refused to answer his questions.
"The chief justice also invoked Dred Scott v. Sandford, the 1857 Supreme Court decision that found African-Americans were not U.S. citizens, and Plessy v. Ferguson, the 1896 decision that upheld the constitutionality of segregation. The decisions are considered the worst handed down by the nation's high court, and have been superseded by constitutional amendment or subsequent decisions."
Moore asked Cuomo if he would follow those orders.

I agree. Moore won that debate hands down.
Should a state follow an unconstitutional order from the Supreme Court?
No. It would be following an illegal order.
Our constitution gives the federal government no jurisdiction over marriage. There is no hint of same-sex marriage in over 225 years under this constitution in our nation’s history.
And they’re going to “find” it there in the last few years when Obama ran against it just 6 years ago???
I read the Coumo said “our rights do not come from God, but from the government”. Amazing people vote for and listen to this lightweight. Chief Justice Moore I salute you for showing these nimrods what they are, Godless people with no moral compass who are leading this nation straight to hell.

What vile comments against Judge Moore on that YT. They can insult all they want but one day we conservatives and those who believe in God will have the last laugh. For that day shall come when God’s wrath shall fall upon them.
There is no hint of abortion either. It is time to ignore these justices at the federal level. They are nothing more than unelected tyrants that support liberalism.
.
Agreed!
I started this thread because youutube had the whole interview.
For later. I have recently heard Moore for short discussion. Guy knows his stuff.

This thread is about this Alabama case.
Clarence Thomas: ‘Another Example of This Court’s Increasingly Cavalier Attitude Toward the States’
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3256005/posts
In a dissenting opinion joined by Justice Antonin Scalia, Justice Clarence Thomas excoriated his fellow justices for refusing to temporarily stop enforcement of a federal district judge’s ruling that overturned the marriage laws of the state of Alabama and ordered Alabama to recognize as legal “marriages” unions between two people of the same sex.
On Jan. 23, U.S. District Judge Callie Granade ruled that Alabama laws limiting marriage to the union of one man and one woman violated the 14th Amendment guarantee of equal protection of the law. Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange petitioned the Supreme Court to prevent the judge’s decision from going into effect until the Supreme Court itself issued its ruling on same-sex marriage—which the court will do this term.
The Supreme Court refused to stay the lower court ruling—with Justice Thomas and Scalia dissenting.
In his dissent from the court’s refusal to grant the stay, Justice Thomas rhetorically smacked his colleagues for disregarding it own standard practices and the deference due to state governments and voters.
“This acquiescence [in the lower court ruling] may well be seen as a signal of the Court’s intended resolution of that question [of same-sex marriage],” wrote Thomas.
“This is not the proper way to discharge our Article III responsibilities,” he said. “And, it is indecorous for this Court to pretend that it is. Today’s decision represents yet another example of this Court’s increasingly cavalier attitude toward the States. Over the past few months, the Court has repeatedly denied stays of lower court judgments enjoining the enforcement of state laws on questionable constitutional grounds.
“It has similarly declined to grant certiorari to review such judgments without any regard for the people who approved those laws in popular referendums or elected the representatives who voted for them,” wrote Thomas. “In this case, the Court refuses even to grant a temporary stay when it will resolve the issue at hand in several months.”

Would love to see Judge Moore on the SCOTUS in my newly formed fantasy country.

Alabama Chief Justice Ray [Roy] Moore Says Courts Overstepped on Gay Marriage
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3255721/posts
Chief Justice Roy Moore of Alabama, who tried to stop gay marriage there with a last-minute order, insisted Monday that the federal courts have overstepped their authority by ordering the state to issue same-sex marriage licenses.
“The U.S. district courts have no power or authority to redefine marriage,” he told NBC News by phone. “Once you start redefining marriage, that’s the ultimate power. Would it overturn the laws of incest? Bigamy? Polygamy? How far do they go?”
“A lot of states in this union have caved to such unlawful authority, and this is not one,” he said. “This is Alabama. We don’t give up the recognition that law has bounds.”
Gay couples began marrying in Alabama on Monday after the Supreme Court declined to block a federal judge’s order requiring Alabama to license same-sex marriages.
On Sunday night, Moore forbade state probate judges from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Marriages went ahead anyway, and at least one probate judge told NBC News that Moore’s order was without merit. “I have a duty to follow the United States Constitution,” said Judge Alan King of Jefferson County Probate Court.
Moore said that the federal rulings were invalid because the party representing the state, Attorney General Luther Strange, has no authority over probate judges, who issue licenses.
Poor Chris Cuomo! He’s never been the same since his parents made him give up his first love, Salvatore the Butcher Boy.
We can all use the parts we agree with and site court cases we like!
But my commanding officer gave me an order to execute the prisoners!
Yes!
So wonderful and so rare nowadays to see a man who has the courage of his convictions.
Excellent, God Bless Roy Moore
