Alabama Supreme Court Rejects U. S. Supreme Court's Marriage Opinion
"The ruling last year by the Alabama Supreme Court was historic, and is one of the most researched and well-reasoned opinions on marriage to be issued by any court in the country
Montgomery, AL - Today, in a 170-page ruling, the Alabama Supreme Court rejected the U.S. Supreme Court's marriage opinion by issuing its own Judgement in favor of Liberty Counsel's Petition for Mandamus. In the petition, Liberty Counsel demanded on behalf of its Alabama clients - Alabama Policy Institute ("API") and Alabama Citizens Action Program ("ALCAP") - that the state's probate judges obey Alabama's Constitution and laws. On March 4, 2015, the Alabama Supreme Court ordered the probate judges to immediately cease issuing same-sex marriage licenses.
