Resistance Is Futile: Some County Clerks Say ‘I Won’t’ To Marriage Equality

One week ago, the U.S. Supreme Court extended marriage equality nationwide. So where are we now?

To no one’s surprise, leaders of the Religious Right and some of their political allies have been huffing and puffing. The U.S. Catholic bishops didn’t much like it either.

That was to be expected. To me, the more interesting question was how government officials would react. I don’t mean the governors of red states or would-be GOP presidents. I’m interested in the reaction of the people on the ground.
