Justices Thomas, Scalia Slam Colleagues for Ala. Ruling

U.S. Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia are criticizing their colleagues for refusing to delay same-sex marriage in Alabama.

They say it gives the impression that the justices already have decided they will declare gay marriage legal under the Constitution.
 
Justices Elena Kagan and Ruth Bader Ginsburg even performed same-sex weddings last year.

Gay marriage was set to become legal in Alabama this week, but Sunday night Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore told state probate judges not to perform same sex weddings.

He weighs in on the situation in Alabama, and explains how the state of marriage could change if the Supreme Court legalizes gay marriage in June.

"Well, I think redefinition of the word marriage is not found within the powers designated in the federal government," Moore said.

"Do they stop with one man and one man or one woman and one woman? Or do they go to multiple marriages or marriages between men and their daughters or women and their sons?" he said.

The Supreme Court is expected to rule on same-sex marriage in June.
