New Mexico is falling & all the king's horse's & all the King's men can't put it back together again

Judge orders most populous N.M. county to issue same-sex marriage licenses

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A New Mexico judge on Monday declared same-sex marriage legal, ordering the clerk of the state’s most populous county to join two other counties in issuing licenses for gay and lesbian couples.

State District Judge Alan Malott ruled New Mexico’s constitution prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

The Bernalillo County clerk’s office in Albuquerque planned to start issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples at 8 a.m. Tuesday.

The decision came after a judge in Santa Fe directed the county clerk there to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples on Friday. But Malott’s ruling was seen as more sweeping because he directly declared that same-sex marriage was legal.

I think this is fitting.
