Some county clerks in Texas have refused marriage licenses for some same sex couples saying that they have the right to do so under the first amendment. Attorney General Len Paxton says "the Supreme Court manufactured a law that simply does not exist, and that county clerks can refuse marriage licenses to same sex couples on the grounds of religious freedom. Clerks who refuse licenses can face litigation or a fine but they have lawyers on stand by for that".
