Two organizations, one involving pediatricians and the other involving churches, became the latest groups to ask the Alabama Supreme Court to resist the U.S. Supreme Court’s lawless marriage opinion and to protect Alabama churches, families, and children.

 “It is in the best interest of children and this State to preserve the fundamental and immutable nature of marriage between one man and one woman,” the American College of Pediatricians told the Alabama Supreme Court in an amicus brief filed on November 6, 2015. 

Adding itself to the growing chorus calling for the Alabama Supreme Court to act was the Charismatic Episcopal Church for Life. In its November 11, 2015, amicus brief, the Church reasoned that “[u]nless the Obergefell opinion is issued ‘in pursuance of’ the United States Constitution, then it is not binding on this Court.” 

There is a growing number of voices calling for resistance to the lawless marriage opinion. Supreme Court Justices swear an oath to uphold the Constitution, not invent a new one.
