SCOTUS Overturns Alabama Ruling against Gay Adoption

SCOTUS was on it this morning.

They just overturned an Alabama Supreme Court decision that denied a lesbian mother parental rights for her adopted children. At the time, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that adoption wasn't valid. SCOTUS stepped in and said that the Alabama Supreme Court overstepped its authority by not recognizing the adoption.

To give you a gist of the news, it's starts with a lesbian mother known as V.L. V. L. sought visitation rights after her divorce with her lesbian partner, E.L.

E.L. gave birth to three children between 2002 and 2004, and S.L. sought the legal action to adopt the children. The couple were together for 14 years and then they broke up. V.L. asked an Alabama court to grant joint custody, and the court agreed to do so.

But then the Alabama Supreme Court got involved and threw out the original court order, stating that the Georgia court misinterpreted Georgia law. Weird, but that's what they did. Later the case reached SCOTUS and they full restored the rights to V.L. as an adoptive parent.

I hope this ruling sends a message to other state courts who oversteps their authority. And to Alabama in general.

Alabama Supreme Court drops Petitions opposing Marriage Equality

Good news in Alabama!

The Alabama Supreme Court tossed out petitions by the Alabama Policy Institute, the Alabama Citizens Action Program and Elmore County's probate judge who claimed the Obergefell case had no effect of their UNCONSTITUTIONAL gay marriage ban.

After the loss, Alabama Policy Institute's attorney said they're done fighting the law. However, Roy Moore... Chile, he's still in denial. He thinks the ban is alive and kicking.

In his response, this fool wrote:

"Today this Court by order dismisses all pending motions and petitions and issues the certificate of judgment in this case. That action does not disturb the existing March orders in this case or the Court's holding therein that the Sanctity of Marriage Amendment, ... and the Alabama Marriage Protection Act, § 30-1-9, Ala. Code 1975, are constitutional," he states. Based upon arguments of "love," "commitment," and "equal dignity" for same-sex couples, five lawyers, as Chief Justice Roberts so aptly describes the Obergefell majority, have declared a new social policy for the entire country. In reality, the Obergefell majority presumes to amend the United States Constitution to create a right stated nowhere therein. That is a lawless act."

Girl, you lost. You lost

The Alabama Supreme Court are Activist Judges

These are activist judges. The Alabama SC is the prime example of that, folks. Thinking their word is higher than the federal court... Let me say that again, higher than the federal court. I find this whole messy ordeal funny because they believe this act will stick. In fact, they should ashamed for using religion and their personal politics in this decision.

I guess they're fine with a tarnished legacy. They will go down as the reckless, ignorance and myopic state Supreme Court, who allowed their foolishness to get in the way of justice.

Congratulations, judges. I hope your arrogance and your dumbass actions serves you well.
