Judge Challenges Alabama’s Chief Justice On Gay Marriage
Despite Moore’s orders to the contrary, at least 50 of Alabama’s 67 counties decided by Friday to issue licenses to same-sex couples.
“When federal law is in conflict with state law, federal law wins out,” President Barack Obama said last week in an interview with BuzzFeed, adding, “I think the courts at the federal level will have something to say to him.”
… Judge Steven L. Reed, the first probate judge in the state to publicly announce he would issue same-sex marriage licenses, said he “didn’t ask for [Moore’s] opinion and frankly didn’t need it. The federal judge told us what we needed to do, and to me that was as clear-cut as I needed in order to make a decision.”
