FILE - In this Feb. 17, 2015, file photo, Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore poses in front the the American flag in Montgomery, Ala.

He said the order to refuse the licenses remains in "full force" despite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling more than six months ago that effectively legalized same-sex marriage throughout the country.
