I wonder how they felt when SCOTUS defined what "arms" were.

- Houston
- San Antonio
- Dallas
- Austin
- Fort Worth
- El Paso
- Arlington (they're in Tarrant County along with FW)

Suck on that, Abbott and Paxton.

I've read about Poe's Law, but this is the first time I'm truly stumped.

I can't tell if this is from a bunch of homophobes, or if it's satire.

At last! What a joyous, historic day for America, the LGBT community, individual families, the institution of marriage and the fight for equality. I used to think that I would not see this day in my lifetime. In recent years, however, it's been clear that personal hearts and minds, and the courts, were headed in this direction. Marriage is about love, commitment, and family. Couples who make that commitment deserve to be respected under law, with the full legal protections that accompany a marriage license. Finally, they are!

Alabama’s grandstanding conservative Christian Chief Justice Roy Moore has vowed that he and his religious group will defy the Supreme Court’s ruling on marriage equality at the state level.

According to Right Wing Watch, on Friday Moore shared a Facebook update by his wife Kayla Moore, who said that their Foundation for Moral Law — an anti-LGBT group that is attempting to inject far-right Christian theology into the daily workings of government — will steadfastly oppose marriage equality in Alabama, calling the Court’s ruling “illegitimate.”

“Today the Supreme Court voted 5-4 to reverse a ruling by the Sixth Circuit Court of appeals that had upheld the marriage laws of Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee, holding that the right to marry a person of the same sex is guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution,” wrote Kayla Moore. “But the Foundation for Moral Law is blowing the whistle on the illegitimacy of today’s decision.”

She went on, “Not only does the U.S. Supreme Court have no legal authority to redefine marriage, but also at least 2 members of the Court’s majority opinion were under a legal duty to recuse and refrain from voting. Their failure to recuse calls into question the validity of this decision.”

The Foundation for Moral Law, she said, is currently embroiled in an anti-marriage equality case in the “Middle District of Alabama” and that “This means we’ve got more work to do, but we are determined to do it…There are issues in this case that the Supreme Court’s decision didn’t resolve.”

Within two hours of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling legalizing same-sex marriage, Georgia's attorney general issued a memo to state agencies and department heads requiring the state to recognize same-sex marriage "in the same way it recognizes marriage between a man and a woman."

Legal duty? Is she talking about that thing where a bunch of angry facebook people told RBG and some others they weren't allowed to rule on this because they officiated gay weddings? Are facebook posts legally binding now?

No, and if the clerks refuse then in theory the local Federal Judge could order a Marshall to go with the couple to execute the order.

Meanwhile, the Louisiana Clerks of Court Association is advising parish and city clerks to wait until the 25-day period for states to file an appeal of the Supreme Court ruling overturning bans on same-sex marriage, Executive Director Debbie Hudnall said in an interview this week.
