¨The Louisiana Clerks of Court Association also has advised clerks to wait 25 days before issuing licenses, as that’s the amount of time parties to the Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage case have to ask the justices to reconsider, according to the newspaper.¨
Nothing is more contemptible than a rear guard action by the losing side in the war on bigotry.

The Supreme Court trampled on the rights of states to trample on the rights of their citizens. This is an outrage.

This stuff is eerily similar to George Wallace barring the doors back in the day.

He should waste taxpayers’ money appealing something just decided by the US Supreme Court. Or not.

When you’ve shifted from opposing and prohibiting to merely delaying and obstructing the inevitable, YOU. HAVE. LOST.

I spent a week one afternoon having dinner in Baton Rouge with friends.
“This Supreme Court decision overturns the will of the people of Louisiana, and it takes away a right that should have been left to the states," he said in the statement. “Louisiana voters decided overwhelmingly to place in our constitution an amendment that defines marriage as between one man and one woman.”
Those voters also elected Bobby Jindal as their Governor. So, it’s clear they can’t be trusted to wipe their own asses, let alone deal with Constitutional rights.

Under the Supreme Court’s rules, it does not issue a formal order to put into effect a decision. Rather, the Court’s clerk will send a copy of the decision to the lower court whose ruling was being reviewed — in this case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which had upheld the same-sex marriage bans in all four states in its geographic reach.
That transmission is likely to occur nearly immediately, adding the states of Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee to the places where same-sex marriage will become available. Cases involving the other ten states where bans had remained in force up to Friday are likely to be resolved quickly by the federal appeals courts in the First, Fifth, and Eighth Circuits.

Listening to these assholes, you’d swear the Supreme Court was going to show up in Baton Rouge like this:
I love the smell of GOP bigotry in the morning. It smells like…victory!

Does the South REALLY want to start picking a state’s right fight with the rest of the nation again? It went so well the first time…

I guess he is hoping the ruling overlooks Louisiana. I don’t think it will.

Well, the decision was this morning. How long do we have before God hauls out his Pissed-Off Mortar™ and destroys America?
“The Attorney General’s Office will be watching for the Court to issue a mandate or order making today’s decision final and effective and will issue a statement when that occurs.”
Are your people that stupid? The Supreme Court’s decision will be “mandated” in just a few weeks. You do know that’s how SCOTUS rulings work, right?
Edit: Please see post up above by Doremus_Jessup. Excellently written.
