Tennessee Strikes Back!

String of Same-sex Marriage Rulings Broken from the SCOTUS Blog
"For the first time in nearly fourteen months, a state’s ban on same-sex marriage has withstood a constitutional challenge in court.  A state judge in Tennessee ruled last week that “neither the Federal Government nor another state should be allowed to dictate to Tennessee what has traditionally been a state’s responsibility.”"
Can anyone forget that Tennessee is the home of Dayton ... of the Scopes Monkey Trial fame?  The sentiment expressed here ["neither the Federal Government nor another state should be allowed to dictate to Tennessee..."] suggests not much has changed since the 1920s.
