| AG Alan Wilson is following the law, and getting pilloried for it. The pro- gay marriage lobby is attacking Wilson |
According to the Palmetto Family
Alliance (PFA) a firestorm has erupted after the South Carolina
Supreme Court stopped illegal marriages in Charleston Wednesday.
And S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson is
getting blasted for defending the rule of law.
According to PFA,
activist liberal probate judges in several South Carolina
jurisdictions jumped the gun on Sept. 8 to allow gay marriages.
These renegade judges cited
the US Supreme Court's refusal to hear same sex marriage cases as
authority to begin issuing marriage license applications to same sex
couples even though the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and the US
District Court for SC have not ruled on the South Carolina law.
Virginia has litigated its law before
the Fourth Circuit federal appeals panel, but South Carolina has not
had its day in court to solicit a ruling on its unique state statute.
Because it has not been yet litigated
S.C. AG Alan Wilson asked the SC Supreme Court to intervene and stop
the illegal marriages in Charleston.
If Wilson caved to a non-decision
decision from Washington he would break the law, according to PFA.
Wilson is simply defending SC law, PFA said. But for his effort,
Wilson is being viciously attacked in electronic media. Facebook,
twitter, blogs. Statewide TV and newspaper websites are being
overwhelmed with negative comments beating up Wilson.
PFA is asking for a Call to Action
asking you to go online now to defend Attorney General Wilson and the
position he is taking. In your comments, please use the hash tag
#defendruleoflaw and cite the attorney general's handle:
@agalanwilson.
PFA emphasizes:
78% of South Carolinians voted to
recognize marriage as the union of one man and one woman
The South Carolina case, Bradacs v.
Haley et al. hasn't been heard in federal court yet.
Justice Anthony Kennedy just yesterday
stayed the issuance of same sex marriage licenses.
