Uhhhh.....yeah, OK. :rolleyes:
He's a fucking judge! The rule of law is all that exists.[/b]
I know you think this sucks but you have to remember;

1. It looks as if many folks in Alabama support this cause.

2. In most cases majority rules in this country. If the majority of Alabama does not agree with the decision, based on their opinion that the interpretation of the law is wrong, they can oppose the decision in this case.

3. Alabama can use their sovereignty as a state to oppose a federal injunction.

4. The judge, is one person and subject to human mistakes. That's why our constitution has checks and balances.

5. Although not necessarily applicable in this situation, remember a judge is only an interpreter of the law and makes decisions. A judge is not above a legislative branch of the government.

Now, MBFlyerfan, I think the fact that you are an atheist allows you the least biased opinion in this thread. I believe your interpretation of the law is dead on and you are absolutely correct! At least that's my opinion. Although, I will add that the law of this land does not support those who take offense about anything.

Let's see how this all plays out.
