Bryan Fischer is the spokesperson for the hate group, the American Family Association, and they are located in Tupelo, Mississippi. So, it's hit close to home for Bryan Fischer and the AFA since a federal judge ruled Mississippi's ban on marriages of same-sex couples is unconstitutional late yesterday. And, he's clearly having a meltdown over it.
From the AFA:
"The federal judiciary has mutated into a gargantuan beast, looming over liberty, freedom and the Constitution itself, and imposing its own benighted and twisted version of morality on the entire country with no legal, statutory, constitutional or moral authority. But it has no police force it can order to arrest or detain anyone. If its unconstitutional rulings are ignored, what will the Supreme Court do? It can issue an arrest order, I suppose, but if a governor will not allow it to be executed, what can the Court do? The answer is nothing. For a governor to stand up and refuse to cower to a federal court would not be civil disobedience at all. It would be constitutional obedience -- obedience to the Constitution and its provisions in the ninth and 10th amendments, obedience to his own state constitution, and obedience to the oath he took before Almighty God. Governors do not take an oath of allegiance to the Supreme Court. They take an oath of allegiance to the Constitution. It’s time they started acting like it."

The state of Kansas has pretty much done just that. State agencies are refusing to recognize marriages of same-sex couples. So, the ACLU in Kansas has amended its lawsuit to add the heads of these agencies as defendants (today). You can read the amended complaint here.
