Hello, it just Happened. The 11th circuit court has not accepted the appeal to
extend the stay on same sex marriage in Alabama. This is a huge moment in
history. I can't believe there is not a single diary on Kos about this giant moment
in time.
as per the local media outlet Al.com
"A federal appeals court in Atlanta on Tuesday denied a request to extend a a delay on a ruling striking down Alabama's same-sex marriage ban, meaning gay couples will be able to start getting married on Feb. 9.
The Alabama Attorney General's Office immediately said it would ask the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene, although the justices have rebuffed similar requests from other states.
"I am disappointed in the 11th U.S. Circuit Court's decision not to stay the federal district court's ruling," Attorney General Luther Strange said in a prepared statement. "The confusion that has been created by the District Court's ruling could linger for months until the U.S. Supreme Court resolves this issue once and for all."
U.S. District Judge Callie V.S. "Ginny" Granade in Mobile ruled one week ago that Alabama Marriage Protection Act and the Sanctity of Marriage Amendment to the state constitution both violated the U.S. Constitution."
This is going to help the economy, the people, it's great,
So never say never. Alabama has entered the 21st century.
