Tex. bill would bar local officials from issuing same-sex-marriage licenses - The Washington Post
I thought Republicans, like Texas were right big on law abiding, punishing & on occasion possibly executing innocent people.
Going to get interesting if and I say SCOTUS will rule in favor of SSM, and States can literally kiss ass.Texas Republicans are pushing legislation to bar local officials from granting same-sex couples licenses to marry, launching a preemptive strike against a possible U.S. Supreme Court ruling next month that could declare gay marriage legal.
Supporters of the measure, which is scheduled for a vote as soon as Tuesday in the Texas House, said it would send a powerful message to the court. Taking a cue from the anti-abortion movement, they said they also hoped to keep any judicially sanctioned right to same-sex marriage tied up in legal battles for years to come.
