Oh, boy, with Jindal, Huckabee et al., weighing in this same way, will the South find a new pretext to try to secede?
I look forward to Texas AG Ken Paxton being in the custody of the US Marshals Service!
“Nothing will change the importance of a mother and a father to the raising of a child.”
He is outlawing divorce for couples with children? That’s a bold move
Says the law doesn’t really exist, his state will never recognize it - and that he’ll comply with the SCOTUS decision.
At least he has the courage of his rhetoric.
More hypocrisy from the right. They love the court when the blow up election financing laws or redistricting or voting rights. They scream bloody murder when they lose on anything that helps the “others” out there.
Nothing will change the importance of a mother and a father to the raising of a child.
Uh-oh…sounds like Bristol is in violation of … something.
Empty rhetoric. leave it to texas to proudy proclaim bigotry and hatred as if these were saintly values.
We can only hope.
I’m so happy he’s unhappy – couldn’t happen to a more deserving fellow.

once again… substitute slavery or inter-racial marriage and you’ll get the actual meaning of this blowhard’s message…
as with most thing in Texas, where things are alleged to always be bigger, the windbags also blow harder… if you get my drift…
Ike sent the 101st Airborne into Little Rock the last time someone got really cute with defying Federal law. I’d love to see some of these bellicose wingnuts follow through on their threats to ignore the ruling.
“To be clear — the law in the state of Texas is that marriage is one man and one woman, and the position of this office is that the United States Constitution clearly does not speak to any right to marriage other than one man and one woman and that the First Amendment clearly protects religious liberty and the right to believe in traditional marriage without facing discrimination,”
Texas Starts Issuing Marriage Licenses To Same-Sex Couples
no problemo… the military is already stationed in Texas and the underground WalMart holding cells are ready… military exercises… remember?
Maybe he will have to marry his cell mate!
Let them. They wouldn’t last one day.
