DENVER Boulder Countys clerk will continue issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples despite the threat of legal action by Colorado Attorney General John Suthers.
Hillary Hall made the announcement Tuesday after Suthers office agreed to give her more time to consider asking the state Supreme Court to rule whether she has the authority to issue the licenses.
Colorados constitution bans same-sex marriage.
Suthers office gave Hall until next week to consider offer, but told her to stop issuing the licenses immediately or face unspecified legal action.

(7,288 posts)wanting to impose my "beliefs" on others. So "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" apparently that falls in the "belief" category unless we are speaking about ye ol' heterosexuals Have too many good mates to not know I was born heterosexual and they were BORN gay, did too much door to door knocking years back to get things changed here in Canada. It's a Civil Rights issue and its Righteous as Hell!

(21,046 posts)That was the school (UC-Boulder) that named their cafeteria the Alferd G. Packer Memorial Grill.
Unfortunately, nobody in the legislature looked up who Alferd G. Packer was.
From Wikipedia:
In 1968, students at the University of Colorado Boulder named their new cafeteria grill the "Alferd G. Packer Memorial Grill" with the slogan "Have a friend for lunch!" Students can order an "El Canibal" beefburger and on the wall is a giant map outlining Packer's travels through Colorado.[13]
He was a cannibal in one of those snowbound expeditions!
Smartassed college students!!!
What the judge allegedly said is hilarious, but untrue:
From Wikipedia:
Stand up yah voracious man-eatin' sonofabitch and receive yir sintince. When yah came to Hinsdale County, there was siven Dimmycrats. But you, yah et five of 'em, goddam yah. I sintince yah t' be hanged by th' neck ontil yer dead, dead, dead, as a warnin' ag'in reducin' th' Dimmycratic populayshun of this county. Packer, you Republican cannibal, I would sintince ya ta hell but the statutes forbid it.[7]
