Hopefully more AGs join him on this.

They can use Obama’s precedent of ignoring laws as well as court orders.

It’s time for a couple of Governors to tell SCOTUS to kiss their collective asses.

Damned right!

The same with Nativity Scenes and Federal buildings being lit up with gay colors.

If they had any real backbone they’d be talking nullification.

Well of course. The USSCT ruled on only the cases before them. If they affirm or reverse lower courts (not sure how many cases they “reviewed”) these mandates have to first be put in final written form and issued to lower courts (all federal district courts of appeal probably). Then that court has to react and remand or whatever to district level. Then federal district court has to write up orders. There is NO WAY a local marriage license clerk should be able to issue a freaking marriage license because of some newspaper or TV headline that Gay marriages are now legal!

Also, the local Courts must be able to read the full opinions and decipher it (what Judges are SUPPOSED to do) before they do anything else.

Love how the AP worked in “Conservative Republican” in the first line. Never seem to mention Liberal Democrat when applicable

Well, “liberal Democrat” is a normal person in AssPress dogma.

Where’s Governor Walker on this? I heard Jindal say no licenses will be issued in LA for now, has Walker done the same in WI?

The SCOTUS decision does not apply to the states! A mandate that gay-marriage licenses be issued “by the States” clearly means those licenses shall be issued by the Federal Government (a precedent set by last week’s ObamaCare decision).
