I suspect Roy Moore will issue a similar order in Alabama.

The battlefield war is won, the guerrilla war has begun.

President Kennedy had to federalize the National Guard during the civil rights conflicts of the early 1960s. President Obama may have to order federal troops to arrest the Texas AG. Probably won't happen, but probably should happen.

whether clerks are paying him any attention.

It's easy to make bold pronouncements before something becomes law.

having a fit about the SCOTUS ruling. Nothing on him advising clerks to stop issuing licenses other than the piece I found.

Travis County (home of Austin) began issuing licenses to same-sex couples today at 10:30 am. Other counties await instruction...

But on Friday, Paxton said in the headline of his statement that the state would be "following high court’s flawed ruling."

As expected, it was all bluster.

That map seems to represent a country, or nation if you prefer, where the citizens all regard themselves as part of the same group, where inclusion and acceptance are important, where citizens treats each with respec... Hey! Wait a second! That's a map of the United States! OK, I guess we're not there, yet, but we're closer today, aren't we?
