When I saw this story it sounded familiar...
During the 50's and 60's civil rights Supreme Court battles, racists would openly defy the decisions.
West Virginia closed down their public schools rather than integrate, and schools in small towns in the South ignored the "Christian only" prayers and lessons ruling.
Religious Right Groups: 'Disregard Obergefell' Because Minority Found It Unconstitutional
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 10/5/2015 10:55 am
In a column published last week, the former head of the Alabama Baptist State Convention and the president of Alabama Eagle Forum pressed the Alabama Supreme Court to declare that the Obergefell decision on marriage equality will not take effect in Alabama. Southern Baptist leader Dr. John H. Killian and Eagle Forums Eunie Smith demanded that the state body take up a case filed by Liberty Counsel, the same group representing Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, asking the court to disregard the Obergefell opinion which four members of the United States Supreme Court said was completely unconstitutional. They also urged the court to hear from two probate judges who, like Davis, refuse to issue marriage licenses. Alabamians elected justices to the Alabama Supreme Court with confidence that they would judge rightly in the fear of God, in step with the Constitution of the United States and the Alabama Constitution, and representative of the traditional values that Alabamians cherish, the pair write. We anxiously await their decision. Duty to God, the preservation of our constitutional republic, and the future of families and children require no less than a prompt and resolute decision in this case.
