   : Oakland County Clerk Lisa Brown said she is ready to begin   
   : immediately issuing same-sex marriage licenses if a federal   
   : judge rules that Michigan's ban on such unions is   
   : unconstitutional.   
   :   
   : She said she answers to one authority: the courts - not the   
   : state attorney general.   
   :   
   : "My job is to follow what the judge says," testified Brown, a   
   : defendant in a case that could make Michigan the 18th state to   
   : legalize gay marriage.   
   :   
   : Last fall, Brown testified, Michigan Attorney General Bill   
   : Schuette sent 82 clerks statewide a memo instructing them not to   
   : issue marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples, even if a   
   : federal judge overturns the ban.   
   :   
   : The memo holds nothing over her, Brown said, pointing out that   
   : she doesn't report to Schuette, the governor or any state   
   : official - just the judge.   
   :   
   : Brown's testimony Monday kicked off what turned out to be a   
   : roller coaster of a day for the state in Michigan's gay marriage   
   : trial, in which two lesbian nurses are seeking to overturn the   
   : state's ban on same-sex marriage so that they can marry and   
   : adopt each others' children.   
   :   
   : After Brown's testimony, the state presented its first witness -   
   : a Princeton-educated philosopher - but U.S. District Judge   
   : Bernard Friedman dismissed him after concluding he was not   
   : qualified to testify in this case. The state had expected his   
   : testimony to last two hours.
