From cartoonist Clay Jones about ‘Occupying Alabama,’ Roy Moore’s directive regarding same-sex marriage licenses, and possibly being twice-removed from the Alabama Supreme Court
Gay marriage is legal through all of the United States of America. The U.S. Supreme Court, one out of three branches of government, says so. The reason I’m stating this is because apparently not everyone has received the information.
Take the Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, Roy Moore. This ‘Bama bunghole directed all local judges in his state to stop issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Moore is a religious wack job and has used his position on the bench to heap his religious views upon the citizens of Alabama. Last February, he expressed concern about federal courts stepping on Alabama and wrote that he has “always recognized the biblical admonition stated by our Lord.” He’s also argued the state should keep children away from gay parents. He supports public prayer but only if it’s Christian.
As Chief Justice, he installed a Ten Commandments monument at the court house and was then thrown off the court for refusing to remove it. He was later elected back to the bench.
We can expect Moore to be found in contempt and maybe even removed once again. That should be fun.
