Roy Moore’s Bible just burst into flames.
Video?
Yes, when a state’s SC starts or continues to ignore the Federal SC’s orders, we are steps away from the 2nd Civil War. I suspect it will be Gregg Abbott’s TexASS that will start the war under the pretense that TX and its residents reject all that the Federal government offer, controls and taxes.
Expect Texas Rangers under the guvs orders to surround all US military bases and demand their guns and ammo. 'Course, they will all be immediately wiped out and Abbott will declare a massacre, thus starting the war…
Granade notes that though same-sex opponent Roy Moore is currently suspended from the office of chief justice, other state justices have indicated they believe laws banning gay marriages were constitutional.
OK, state jurists. 'States rights" does not mean you get to ignore the U.S. Constitution and Law of the Land to protect your petty personal biases.
I only hope he was holding it.
Hey, hit them over the head with the law as many times as it takes, until they get it through their thick, redneck, inbred, bigoted skulls, that the days of marginalizing people based on that ridiculous ancient book are OVER. THEY will now be the ones marginalized, because the majority of this country is sick to death of a small minority trying to make everyone miserable.
Thank you, Judge Granade. It’s sad that this is even necessary, but your ruling makes clear the need why you’re ordering a permanent injunction. Folks of Alabama, please follow the U.S. Constitution – the way it’s interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court. Thank you.
Judge Granade…that sounds FRENCH!!! And judges of French descent have a conflict of interest in ruling on matters involving SEX!
That’s because I salted it, doused it with lighter fluid and tossed a lit match at it.
Oh, and @fiachat, yeah, dude was holding onto the thing … for dear life until the flames of Hell got just a little too hot for his hateful hands. He threw it on the ground where it proceeded to burn to a crisp. Hehehehe.
I expect the Texas Rangers to surround the Military bases and the Base commander to simply shut the gates and dare them to enter. Give it about 5 days with the gates shut before the local businesses start SCREAMING at Abbott to stop the stupidity. Entirely too much money goes through those gates and is spent outside the bases for them to be shut down for any length of time. Don’t forget most have their own power (or generators), most have their own water and food? it might be MRE’s, but the soldiers, airman, sailors and Marines will not go hungry.
A federal judge is permanently barring Alabama from enforcing state laws to block gay marriage.
That’s a nice start…but, to save time, should enjoin them from interpreting anything. I trust five-year olds with matches more than those guys.
He thumped the damn thing until it reached critical mass and exploded.
I have a dream that someday the Alabama state Bar Association would take action against Roy Moore for his actions. Its a dream.
Yes. All the federal court needs to do is include in its order the words “Bible says,” “sodomy’” “anal”, “Leviticus 69,” “cease and desist from processing any and all interpretive thought”, and the micromanaging of Alabama courts serving the public interest will be complete because those Alabama judges will eat that shit up (anytime they feel the urge to say what an Alabama law or state constitutional provision means).
Hah! And a bias towards wine, French fires and…bidets!
Alabamans, please make your adulteress governor put your tax dollars to better use.
You may realize savings since the frivolous cases will no longer be permitted!
I don’t think it would even take 5 days. one or two at best. if necessary, an A-10 could fly in and wipe them all out in about 10 minutes.
The effect of this order is that the next time anyone in a government position in Alabama tries something even slightly stupid (note the AP story said “most” counties are issuing licenses) it is only one step for a US Attorney to ask for a criminal contempt citation.
I hope he was reading it and holding it very close to his face at the time.
