The Alabama Supreme Court, including the notoriously
homophobic Chief Justice Roy Moore, are being sued by a group of
rightwing organizations for not ruling on a same-sex marriage case
quickly enough. The groups have filed a formal complaint with state
Judicial Inquiry Commission.
Marriage equality court
cases have pingponged through the Alabama justice system following a
federal court decision legalizing same-sex marriage. After U.S. District
Judge Callie Granada’s ruling, Moore issued an administrative order to
probate judges to ignore the federal court ruling and to abide by state
laws.
After the Supreme Court ruling in favor of marriage
equality, the Alabama Supreme Court asked the parties to submit
arguments on the “effect of the Supreme Court’s decision on this court’s
existing orders in this case.” After a flurry of motions and orders
have followed; including another order from Moore falsely claiming that
the Supreme Court’s ruling was invalid in Alabama.
