Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses[W:344,535,718]

Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses

On the Attorney General. Who doesn't issue licences.

Uhh, no. The ruling is binding for the entire state.
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses

What I want is for people to stop saying "it doesn't affect you".

It doesn't affect you.
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses

Funny enough, even Obama agrees with me. Or, at least he did back in 2012 when he called the supreme court "an unelected group of people."

They are an unelected group of people. Can you source the quote and its context?

If your premise here is that "politicians change rhetoric to suit the situation," then yes, they do that. A lot. See also: filibusters. Terrible when the other guy does it. Necessary when we do it.

edit: Ooh! Or debt ceiling raises. Terrible, reckless spending indicative of a total lack of restraint. Except when we're in charge, then it is necessary for the stability of the economy and a requirement for the country to meet its constitutional requirement of honoring debts.
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses

Two gay people getting married does not affect your life in any way. Unless you are filled with hate and want to hate some more.

Nice to see that you know how to project....poorly.
I'm all for civil unions, dude/dudette, civil unions have nothing to do with religion. They can give all the bells and whistles that a marriage offers.
So please, take your hate filled heart and shove it........
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses

Try me. Assuming you have an argument. Otherwise dodge yet another question. Your choice.

It's a matter of who you want to discriminate against, which is what I have been saying all along. You think your position is superior, I say it's just more discrimination claiming to be anti-discriminatory. Hypocrisy.

It doesn't affect your life in any way...unless you are obsessed with anger over someone else's love life.

Doesn't matter if it is a marriage. Not everyone is in your religion.

Right. I want to discriminate against for-profit businesses that willingly choose to enter the market and hold out to the public.

You want to discriminate against people for being born that way.

I think my position is superior. So does the vast majority of the population, which you seemed to think was of overriding importance for some reason.

Good for you, it's still hypocrisy.

You don't know how it affects my life, so once again you project.....poorly.
Next time try to comprehend what is being stated to you before you respond with your bumper sticker slogan.
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses

Good for you, it's still hypocrisy.

And you? You thought the will of the people was of overriding importance before. The public doesn't support a repeal of anti discrimination laws. What about your hypocrisy?

How does it affect your life?
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses

"you" = all southerners, same thing

I wouldn't call Texans "southerners."

Nothing wrong with southerners, just that Texans are their own thing. We don't have the history or the culture of the deep south.

Stop lying, one thing has nothing to do with the other. I hate it when you people try to conflate one thing into something entirely different.

How does it affect your life?

Does your work quality suffer? Is your home valuation down? Is your LDL cholesterol off? Are your pipes clogged? Does your dog disobey?

It doesn't affect your life...but if you obsess about it, it affects your brain.

Me too. Like equating a for profit business willingly holding out to the public with an individual born with a characteristic they can't control. I really hate when people conflate those things.

What the hell are you even talking about?
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses

Bigotry: intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself. Your own comments betray your bigotry, but for some reason you think your bigotry is okay. This is why I find discussions about "bigotry" so tedious.

Lol. I wasn't asking you for a definition of bigotry.
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses

No. Nothing about Justice Granade's ruling forces probate judges to issue licenses. She even said as much in the opinion. This may change on Thursday, when she considers a request to order the judges to comply.
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses

This has been explained over and over again, but Ill try it one more time: anybody can go into a bakery and buy any cake on display, and a craftsman does not have to accept a custom order from anybody. Not getting your way is not "discrimination", it's called freedom.

People usually want a personalised cake for things like weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays. The "display" cake won't work. Besides, it's pretty damn ugly to deny a persons order based on their skin color, their gender, or their sexual orientation, none of which anybody has control over.
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses

The governor has announced there will be no punishment of judges regardless of their decision.

The Governor's jurisdiction ends at the state line. I would love to see someone file a federal complaint against these judges for violating their civil rights.
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses

The threats of charges became empty threats once the Governor indicated an unwillingness to enforce.


The governor doesn't control Federal Court contempt charges.


An amended complaint has already been filed and a hearing is scheduled concerning Judge Don Davis refusal to issue licenses for Thursday at 1:00PM. The outcome of that hearing will either be a dismissal or injunction against Davis (probably in the form of a writ of mandamus). Then if Judge Davis doesn't comply he'd be subject to Federal contempt charges.
