...All I wanted to say about Ironbite's comment was: "Wow." But I suspect that might have been thought to be a reference to the doge meme due to his "such insanity" phrase.
So instead I'll add that the entire Alabama thing is stupid but unfortunately there might be a basis to arrest or at least punish the clerks since they are not allowed to issue marriage licenses...
Even though not allowing the marriages is really stupid and petty act of disobedience and punishing the clerks is even moreso another sign of the lawmakers being Goddamned stupid homophobes.
But if the ban on ALL marriages is valid and legally done, then violating it might be a crime or basis for firing the clerks.
Still, in a better world none of those politicians would be re-elected.
