By refusing to consider the appeal, the Supreme Court has caused the Appeals Court&#8217;s decision to become final and binding on West Virginia. While we disagree with the Supreme Court&rsquo;s decision to allow the Fourth Circuit&rsquo;s opinion to stand and believe it improperly displaces state and local decision-making, we will respect it. <\/p>\n<p> As the state&rsquo;s Attorney General, it is my duty to defend state laws that have been passed by the state Legislature and are consistent with the Constitution. We have discharged this duty faithfully. In the upcoming days, we will now seek to bring to a close the pending litigation over West Virginia&rsquo;s marriage laws, consistent with the Fourth Circuit&rsquo;s now-binding decision.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Earl Ray Tomblin has also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.governor.wv.gov\/media\/pressreleases\/2014\/Pages\/GOVERNOR-TOMBLIN-ISSUES-STATEMENT-REGARDING-SAME-SEX-MARRIAGE-IN-WEST-VIRGINIA.aspx\" target=\"_self\">issued a statement<\/a> responding to the AG&#8217;s announcement:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/towleroad.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341c730253ef01b7c6f071c6970b-pi\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tomblin\" src=\"http:\/\/towleroad.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341c730253ef01b7c6f071c6970b-200wi\" title=\"Tomblin\"><\/a>As the attorney general stated today, recent rulings by several federal courts, combined with the refusal of the U.S. Supreme Court to hear this issue, make it clear that laws banning same-<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> marriage have been declared unconstitutional. I do not plan to take any actions that would seek to overturn the courts&rsquo; decisions. West Virginia will uphold the law according to these rulings, and I have directed state agencies to take appropriate action to make that possible.<\/p>\n<p>Our state is known for its kindness and hospitality to residents and visitors alike. I encourage all West Virginians&mdash;regardless of their personal beliefs&mdash;to uphold our statewide tradition of treating one another with dignity and respect.<\/p>\n<p>Developing&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=JdgaJ04aTus:xYAa-KEBI3I:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=JdgaJ04aTus:xYAa-KEBI3I:I9og5sOYxJI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=I9og5sOYxJI\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=JdgaJ04aTus:xYAa-KEBI3I:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=JdgaJ04aTus:xYAa-KEBI3I:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?i=JdgaJ04aTus:xYAa-KEBI3I:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=JdgaJ04aTus:xYAa-KEBI3I:cGdyc7Q-1BI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=cGdyc7Q-1BI\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=JdgaJ04aTus:xYAa-KEBI3I:YwkR-u9nhCs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=YwkR-u9nhCs\" border=\"0\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/towleroad\/feed\/~4\/JdgaJ04aTus\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"><br \/>\nKyler Geoffroy<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2014\/10\/west-virginia-will-no-longer-fight-challenge-to-states-gay-marriage-ban.html\" class=\"autohyperlink\">www.towleroad.com\/2014\/10\/west-virginia-will-no-longer-fight-challenge-to-states-gay-marriage-ban.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Virginia Will No Longer Fight Challenge to State&#039;s Gay Marriage Ban In a statement issued today, West Virgina&#8217;s Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced he would no longer be defending the state&#8217;s ban on <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> marriage in court, writing: On Oct. 6, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court decided it would not take up the decision &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gayfriendschat.com\/socialblog\/west-virginia-will-no-longer-fight-challenge-to-states-gay-marriage-ban\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">West Virginia Will No Longer Fight Challenge to State&#039;s Gay Marriage Ban<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2466,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-misc"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
