So, do we have a running list of states/governers/cities where they are going to ignore the SCOTUS..

.. and stand in the doorway of the marriage license office to keep 'the gays' out?

as of 11:00AM.

Sure, some clerks will not want to do it, and they should be fired immediately. Couples will be able to, even if they have to drive a bit, legally get married and have it recognized throughout the country.

They'll twiddle the law to make it difficult for gays to marry,
putting up obstacles, and so on.

When can same-sex couples get married? Gay marriage live updates:
http://www.al.com/news/birmingham/index.ssf/2015/06/when_can_same-sex_couples_get.html

Some of the 67 counties in Ala. will no longer perform civil marriages for anyone...
that was the decision of our county also, the Probate Judges refuse to marry gays, and now straight couples.
You can get a license from the courthouse, but unless you can find a pastor to perform the deed, you can't arry in the county.

Other counties esp. those with cities ( Birmingham, Montgomery, etc) will provide civil marriages to everyone,
and some pastors will.

I live in a county which will not do civil marriages.

Become licensed to perform marriages and you will have both gay and straight forking over dough. How ironic it the free market thumped this.

So tis with irony I note that, in my lil town made famous for an anti-intolerance book and movie,
the county Probate Judge is refusing to marry anyone, in order to avoid obeying the law of the land.

Not even &!^($#@@#! Mississippi is resisting the law like Ala. is!!!!
