“The clear implication of Chief Justice Moore’s argument is that no government official who heads one of the three branches of any state or of the federal government, and takes an oath of office to defend the Constitution, as all of them do, is subject to the order of any court, at least not of any federal court below the Supreme Court. In the regime he champions, each high government official can decide whether the Constitution requires or permits a federal court order and can act accordingly. That, of course, is the same position taken by those southern governors who attempted to defy federal court orders during an earlier era.” From the Court opinion upholding Roy Moore’s removal from office for his prior disobeying of a federal Court order. ---

Anyone know if any probate judges listened to Moore’s proclamations and stopped giving out licenses to gays? ---
