Maybe the southern state capitols should KEEP their confederate flags
...as long as the people of southern states are going to vote homophobic, retrograde clowns like Roy Moore or Greg Abbott in office. Why? If you thought Abbott's "discrimination" order to state employees wasn't horrid enough, just hear what "Ten Commandments in Court" Alabama Supreme Court justice Roy Moore had to say regarding today's gay marriage ruling.
"I believe it's worse because it affects our entire system of morality and family values," Ray Moore told CNN in a phone interview Friday.
Moore has consistently fought against same-sex marriage. In February, he ordered lower court judges in Alabama not to implement a federal court ruling that overturned the state's ban on same-sex marriage.
And like many other conservatives on Friday, Moore insisted that the Supreme Court ruled against the very constitution it is sworn to uphold.
"There is no such thing as same-sex marriage in the constitution. The words are not there, we've never had it in our history," Moore said. "Five judges on the Supreme Court, or justices, have presumed to find a fundamental right which has no basis in the history or logic or tradition of our country."
