The judge ruled that probate judges around the state should begin issuing licenses to same-sex couples on Monday Feb. 9 if an appeals court did not issue a stay. No stay has been issued. Alabama probate judges who refuse to follow the order may well be subject to the power of the federal court to hold them in contempt. For a good article laying out the broad powers of a federal district judge to hold individuals in civil or criminal contempt, here is an extensive explanation of those powers.<br /><br />Acting like a yokel and mouthing off about ludicrous theories of states’ rights is one thing. Defying a specific order of a federal court is quite another.<br /><br />UPDATE:<br /><br />The injunction issued by the district court states:<br /><br />Accordingly, the court hereby ORDERS that the Alabama Attorney General<br />is prohibited from enforcing the Alabama laws which prohibit same-sex marriage.<br />This injunction binds the defendant and all his officers, agents, servants and<br />employees, and others in active concert or participation with any of them, who<br />would seek to enforce the marriage laws of Alabama which prohibit same-sex<br />marriage.<br /><br />See here for full order.

Strange (8)<br /><br />RGK<br /><br />http://herculesandtheumpire.com./Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-42404826328140426522015-02-09T15:10:58.270-06:002015-02-09T15:10:58.270-06:00the interview is long but worthwhile.
