Hodges decision “is null and void” in North Carolina and that the Tar Heel state shall only recognize marriages between one man and one woman.

This could actually be a window of opportunity for the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell vs. Hodges, assuming one more Justice is replaced by the time it would go to the court. The question is, how would the Trump DOJ respond to this law being passed? The same way Obama’s DOJ responded to HB2? Or would they not care?
Amen, brother.

Exactly. That where the “... or to the people” part of the Constitution comes into play.
That’s assuming all of the GOP members are on board.
Considering that a good portion of them cowered before the Gaystapo on HB2, I’m not too confident in them.
You are correct, they are hedging
[I am everywhere and nowhere...]
I was certain of it.
Then again, it MUST be difficult finding a phone booth to change into your costume, these days.
