Since neither homosexuality or marriage is a legitimate federal concern (See US Constitution) they are subjects the states can legislate if they so wish.

I am sure the Supreme Court will clarify the issues /S

The Governor issued a statement that basically says he’s not going to do anything about any of it.

http://governor.alabama.gov/newsroom/2015/02/governor-bentley-issues-statement-issuance-sex-marriage-licenses/

“This issue has created confusion with conflicting direction for Probate Judges in Alabama. Probate Judges have a unique responsibility in our state, and I support them. I will not take any action against Probate Judges, which would only serve to further complicate this issue.”

The judge should expect his IRS audit letter any day now.

Oh, dear - we wouldn't want to do the right thing if it complicates the issue...

Fire the probate judges - and then fire this bonehead Governor.

Roy Moore is right and federal judges are fools to ignore God's Law.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. - Galatians 6:7

The frightening side of “gay marriage” is that it shoehorns in discrimination against those who support traditional marriage, such as saying that a single mother who puts a baby up for adoption to a married two parent family can’t say it can’t go to two lesbians, or a man in a dress arguing that it has an equal right to using women’s bathrooms under the same “equal protections” arguments as gay marriage.

Yes, as another commenter has rightly said, this is not about same-sex "marriage" per se, but about normalizing perversion and removing any means whereby it can be limited or penalized under law.

If the probate courts don’t do their jobs, then state law still needs to be enforced. That’s where county sheriffs come in. The sheriffs can send deputies out to monitor courthouses and arrest any judges who violate state law.

"show me where the us constitution specifically speaks abut gay marriage."

I wish that the judges would reference constitutional clauses and supportive excerpts from the writings of founders like Thomas Jefferson, and also Supreme Court case opinions, to justify their stances on gay marriage. Then we’d know which judges are pro-gay activists trying to protect gay marriage.

In fact, based on how he failed to argue 10th Amendment for his Ten Commandments display, Judge Moore sounds to me like a “flag, motherhood and apple pie” patriot who really doesn’t know how to substantiate his assertions with the Constitution and its history.

So some 8 counties refused to open today.

This a lot different from the integration of schools in the 50’s/60’s.

Just what is going to happen to judges who refuse? Will they be disbarred when the Chief Justice agrees with them?

What is Zerohissef going to do if Alabama simply refuses? I guess cut off federal funds?

Interesting play here...
