Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore
issued an order Wednesday informing the state’s probate judges of their
“ministerial duty not to issue any marriage license contrary” to
Alabama’s constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
Despite the
U.S.
Supreme Court’s 2015 decision overturning such state bans, Moore maintains
Alabama’s law is still valid, and that as
chief justice
he is empowered to “take affirmative and appropriate action to correct
or alleviate any condition or situation adversely affecting the
administration of justice within the state.”
