This judge historically has been an advocate for states rights and contends a federal judge can not overrule a state constitution. He is factually incorrect as even the conservative FOX NEWS has stated.
You see there is a thing called the "supremacy clause" in short it means Federal Law trumps state law... We all know this...
This particular judge however has had a history of opposing change in Alabama, so much in fact he was once previously removed from the bench...
The federal judge who deemed the ban on same sex marriage in Alabama flat out, out ranks the state judge, the appeals court that denied the stay out ranks the state judge. Lastly the Supreme Court of America who voted 7-2 NOT to even take up the Alabama argument undeniably out ranks this state judge...
This State judge threatened arrest of probate judges if they issued marriages to same sex couples. So both the Alabama Governer AND the Federal Judge came out stating no one would be arrested and ALL counties must issue licenses to same sex couples or face possible law suits for civil rights violations..
To date 50 of Alabamas 67 counties are now issuing same sex licenses... Look for sanctions to come down hard on this state judge soon
And before anyone makes the claim " This liberal judge is changing the law" this judge was appointed by BUSH...
