It’s called the supremacy clause. It trumps nullification. If South Carolina prefers to be reduced to rubble and ashes again, they can try nullification 2.0. I’m sure we can find another WT Sherman to light that fucker up.

The judge issued a statement explaining himself:
“As a result of the actions of the United States Supreme Court this past Monday, the Charleston County Probate Court is required to accept and issue marriage licenses for same sex couples. Applications will be accepted beginning today, October 8, 2014, and the Charleston County Probate Court will issue the marriage license after the mandatory 24 hour waiting period unless stayed by the South Carolina Supreme Court or another appropriate court.”

Only idiots stand still at the beach and challenge the tide to wash over them. This country, sad to say, is still filled with an excessive supply of idiots. Like that Rep who claimed that the ice melting in the glass doesn’t raise the water level.
