NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -
A Tennessee lawmaker has sent a letter to all 95 county clerks in Tennessee urging them to refuse to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
State Rep. Rick Womick, R-Rockvale, said the governor and attorney general are intimidating county clerks to issue the licenses.
In the letter, Womick told county clerks the Supreme Court is redefining a legally recognized marital contract in Tennessee, making it void and unenforceable in the state. He also said they should ignore the Supreme Courts decision.
We are going to redefine marriage as this. They dont have the power. Only Congress and state legislators have that power to create law, Womick said. These clerks, by ignoring the opinion, will be in violation of no federal law. All theyre in violation of is the opinion of individuals in black robes.
