So the Supreme Court refuses to block Gay Marriage in Alabama and we have a lot of officials down there vowing civil (or maybe even uncivil) disobedience. You're going to see a lot of analogies to the time then-governor George Wallace stood in a doorway at the University of Alabama and vowed to disobey federal orders for desegregation.
It's worth remembering that, first of all, Wallace lost that battle and later practically begged people for forgiveness for his stance. It's also worth noting that several of his biographers have stated that Wallace never believed in segregation; that he only believed in doing whatever would make him popular in his state and at that moment, standing in that doorway made him very popular…even if he didn't stop what he pledged to stop.
Alabama. They can't stop it in Alabama. I continue to be amazed…pleased but amazed. I really thought it would take decades for this to happen.
