n">(Reuters) - In a move viewed skeptically by legal experts, the socially conservative chief justice of Alabama's Supreme Court on Tuesday encouraged judges in his state to ignore a federal ruling last week striking down its ban on gay marriage.

Justice Roy Moore, in a letter addressed to Alabama Governor Robert Bentley, said Friday's federal ruling, which was put on hold for two weeks and could be superseded by a U.S. Supreme Court decision on gay marriage due by the end of June, violates the state constitution.
"I am dismayed by those judges in our state who have stated they will recognize and unilaterally enforce a federal court decision which does not bind them," Moore wrote. "I would advise them that the issuance of such licenses would be in defiance of the laws and constitution of Alabama."

I agree. Let the States decide what they want done in their State and whats considered legal.
So when CA decides they want to ban handguns and automatic rifles, you'd be just fine with that right?
Why not.
No on has to live in CA. If they don't like the laws they can always move or vote those out that make the laws.
The same goes for all States. If you don't like the laws then vote those making them out of office.
Well it's a dandy idea...and is not our current system of government. What I described is unconstitutional...just like bans on gays marrying the partner of their choice.
I guess if you don't like the laws of our country, like the Constitution that says you can't violate my right to equal protection, you can move to a different one.
Then why even have a Constitution, if no one has to follow it?No on has to live in CA. If they don't like the laws they can always move or vote those out that make the laws. The same goes for all States. If you don't like the laws then vote those making them out of office.
Of course I believe in the Constitution and the right to bear arms. I have guns and know how to use them.
I was speaking about laws that the States pass that you don't like. If you don't like those laws then vote out those passing them.
He knows perfectly well as do I that the right to bear arms is in the Constitution. Of course some on the left would rather it weren't. They think no one should own a gun for any reason.
