Liberty Counsel is representing Nick Williams and other Alabama probate judges who refuse to issue same-sex marriage licenses. U.S. District Judge Callie Granade has set Monday as the day when she said the state should begin issuing these licenses.

At this time, no Alabama probate judge is bound by Judge Granade’s order. This sole federal judge does not have jurisdiction to order all state probate judges to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

In addition, Alabama code does not mandate that a judge of probate perform marriage for anyone. No two people seeking a marriage ceremony have the right to demand that the ceremony be performed by a particular judge at a particular time and place. Any number of accommodations can be made that would give couples (whether same-sex or opposite-sex) access to a judge, while also protecting an individual judge’s rights of conscience and free speech.

Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore has explained, in a letter and memorandum, the illegality and illegitimacy of current federal cases purporting to strike down marriage.
