Alabama's Governor Moore and Attorney General Strange are furious as the United States Supreme Court has denied their request to extend the stay for the federal ruling that a ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. Sunday night, Moore issued a demand that no licenses be issued, but several judges have already issued them in Alabama counties with officiators performing the marriages at parks.
Although there are a few judges siding with Moore and refusing the federal order, they will be subject to retribution for disobeying.
Alabama becomes the 37th state in the US to allow SSM to the celebration of many.
The greater news from this is that SCOTUS denied this request AFTER taking on the SSM issue. It would be completely unexpected for the High Court to reverse it's decisions at this point. A 50 State federal requirement to recognize same sex marriage is on the horizon.
