President of the Human Rights Campaign, Joe Solmonese, called the decision a “setback” and Ken Choe, the ACLU lawyer who argued on behalf of the plaintiffs, expressed hope that, in contrast to nearly all of the bench, the overall Assembly would have the ability to see “that lesbian and gay couples form committed relationships and loving households identical to heterosexual couples”. Mimi’s effort to see her new nephew was rewarded for, as she asserted a few years later, “I knew the moment I first set eyes on John that he was going to be something special.” Mimi’s response displayed both nice premonition or, extra probably, pure favoritism. In 1975, Clela Rorex, the Boulder County Clerk, became the primary county clerk within the nation to subject marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Suthers v. Hall provided authorized cover for the Boulder County clerk to concern same-intercourse marriage licenses as a type of civil disobedience. However, on July 10, 2014, a day after the Brinkman ruling, District Court Judge Andrew Hartman discovered that while Hall violated the law-“There may be little argument that Clerk Hall is partaking in a form of civil disobedience. She apparently is taking the position posited by St. Augustine and adopted notably by Martin Luther King Jr. that, ‘an unjust regulation is no legislation at all.'”-however he refused to impose a restraining order or injunction upon her, because the state did not meet its high burden for a stay.
