has now been ordered to start issuing same sex marriage licenses. http://www.koat.com/news/new-mexico/sf-clerk-ordered-to-issue-gay-marriage-licenses/-/9153762/21622096/-/2o3bxt/-/index.html

I predicted a few months ago this state would be next because I knew the state supreme court was studying the issue.

It's being done quietly, one county at a time. We also got rid of the DP quietly a few years ago.

For being part of the Rocky Mountain wild west, this state is being remarkably civilized.
