OK, enough with Donald Trump. On to Roy Moore. (I know, I'm late to this. Been otherwise occupied today.)

Seriously, this is Roy Moore's book report on the Obergefell dissents. He summed each up, then summed them all up:pic.twitter.com/iY2QrgObVK

Roy Moore is ~obsessed~ with Hamilton and Lincoln, and it makes me feel a bit awkward, since, same.pic.twitter.com/wiL716Sao9

I thought it was odd when the 11th Circuit used that language. Nonetheless, it's clear the reasoning of Obergefell, as relating to ...

The bottom line: The Alabama Supreme Court dismissed the pending case trying to challenge whether the marriage amendment can be enforced.
-
3 of 9 justices questioned the Supremacy Clause, more (Moore) or less. 1 of 9 said he hated the outcome but follows the Supremacy Clause.
-
4 of 9 justices said nothing or said no one else was speaking for them. 1 of 9 justices said the case never should have been taken.
