Alabama disgusts me. If I was the US Supreme Court I would hold the Alabama kangaroo court in contempt. They are violating the US constitution and supremacy clause with their defiance. If I was a probate judge in Alabama I would ignore the kangaroo court and oblige by the federal court ruling.
If this defiance continues, time to send in some federal agents to enforce the federal ruling.

As an Alabamian, 30 years removed, I still feel the need to apologize for the continuation of the bigotry and hatred that is ingrained in our history.

Even 50 years after the Selma March, they still embrace their racism. And 50 years from now, they will probably still be hating.

@BJ McFrisky: George and Brad Takei don’t need ANYONE! HOWEVER, EVERYBODY FOLLOWS THEM BECAUSE THEY STAND FOR JUSTICE AND EQUALITY. You might want to try that sometime!
