Is it your position that every single marriage performed in Alabama between 1968 and 2000 is null & void/illegally done because SCOTUS voided marriage laws as they relate to prohibitions against interracial marriage?

What is being said is that a clerk would have the authority to not issue licenses based on the legislature not rewriting the law....provided there was no savings clause.

As a matter of fact, I think in the case of homosexualist marriage, the Alabama Supreme Court has said exactly that, and Judge Moore recused himself from the ruling. You do remember that, don't you?

That said, you put up liberal straw men. I'm hoping it's so you can now argue with a liberal someplace who throws this stuff at you.

It wouldn't necessarily even have been a racist motive to wait for the new law. There could have been many benefits accruing to being married under the new law.

I understand that completely. I also completely understand how incorrect that is.

Please contact Davis's legal team and the judge with your interpretation.
