An Alabama federal judge has stirred up the same-sex
marriage issue once again in Alabama with a new order attempting to overrule
the Alabama Supreme Court. This judge fails to recognize that her orders are
outside of her scope of authority. We unequivocally stand with Chief Justice
Roy Moore and the Justices of the Alabama Supreme Court in fighting on behalf
of Alabama's legally passed protections of natural marriage.
See my update below on this unfolding legal challenge - Mat.
U.S. District Judge Callie Granade has once again attempted
to permanently overrule the Alabama Supreme Court regarding marriage. According
to Granade, her order is needed because state laws against same-sex marriage
remain in effect after the Alabama Supreme Court affirmed earlier orders that
prohibited probate judges from issuing
marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Judge Granade has no authority over the Alabama Supreme
Court, but she is acting as if she is the top appellate court in the state. The
only Court that has authority over the Alabama Supreme Court is the U.S. Supreme
Court.
Nonetheless, there was one benefit to the Judge's order... With
her order, Judge Granade has affirmed the need for clarification on issuing
"same-sex" marriage licenses in the state. That clarification was
provided earlier this year by Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore when he issued an
Administrative Order advising probate judges that the state's orders remained
in effect: no "same-sex marriage" licenses were to be issued. In
March 2016, the Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the 2015 orders.
Because of Justice Moore's Administrative Order, he became
the target of unfounded and politically motivated complaints filed against him with
the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission (JIC) by left-leaning organizations and
pro-homosexual activists.
Liberty Counsel stands in defense of Chief Justice Moore!
Liberty Counsel has filed a federal lawsuit against the JIC
that raises constitutional challenges to their charges against Chief Justice
Roy Moore and the "automatic removal" provision of the Alabama
Constitution.
Liberty Counsel is asking the court to immediately reinstate
Chief Justice Moore. We will defeat these outrageous charges!
We can defend Chief Justice Moore and others who are paying
a high price for their stand in defense of the law and natural marriage thanks
to you and other friends of Liberty Counsel. Some of our clients are being
forced to surrender their inalienable constitutional rights.
In virtually every case, we are fighting a well-organized,
liberally-funded, pro-homosexual legal machine! That's why
your financial support is imperative to keep us going.
This has been an extremely challenging year financially, as
the need for our services has risen dramatically, but the financial support hasn't
kept pace with the need.
Now, as we approach the end of our Fiscal Year at the end of
June facing a shortfall, a very generous friend of Liberty Counsel has presented
us with a Fiscal Year End Challenge Grant. That means every dollar you give
right now will go twice as far in the fight for liberty!
