'Gay marriage'-creating judge now helps embattled chief justice

Alabama state Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, who was suspended for his administrative orders regarding the state’s fight over same-sex “marriage,” has gotten support from the woman who sparked the conflagration, Callie Granade, a federal judge who originally ordered the creation of the status in the state.

Granade has issued a permanent injunction against the state’s law and constitution, and as part of her opinion, expressed the same arguments that Moore has been using in his own defense.

“While it was not her intent to help the case of Chief Justice Roy Moore, federal judge Granade’s order proves our argument that the charges against the chief have no foundation,” said Mat Staver, chief of Liberty Counsel and defender of Moore.

Besides, Staver pointed out, “Judge Granade has no authority over the Alabama Supreme Court but she is acting as if she is the top appellate court in the state. The only court that has authority over the Alabama Supreme Court is the U.S. Supreme Court. The other parties are free to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case but they have refused to do so. Judge Granade is not the U.S. Supreme Court.”

I have not seen any legislation making same sex marriage lawful in any State. There definitely is not one in the Federal government, as it would be intruding on each States rights. Without a law or a Constitutional amendment at the State level, where is the power to “give” homos the right to marry?

I have not seen any legislation making same sex marriage lawful in any State.

Did you look? Before the Supreme Court ruling, there were about 13 or 14 states which adopted same-sex marriage by popular vote or by vote of the legislature.

Without a law or a Constitutional amendment at the State level, where is the power to “give” homos the right to marry?

The Supreme Court (incorrectly, IMHO) decided that denying gays the right to marry deprived them of equal protection of the laws in violation of the 14th amendment.

The next step in the Supreme courts ruling is each State would have to rewrite their regulations, rules and law to fit the Supreme Courts tyrannical rant....or tell them to take a hike, which is in their legal purview to do. Simply put, tell the USSC to try and enforce it.
