The Federal courts are very diligent about protecting their decisions and their implementation. Any government official who has taken an oath to uphold and defend will be forced to perform these marriages or resign. Kennedy has made it clear that at this time, he will not entertain efforts by individuals or the government to coerce religious institutions or clergy. Why overplay a winning hand. However it will be interesting to see how the courts deal with ordinary individuals who based on their conscience refuse to take an oath to uphold and defend or perform civic duties such as jury duty. If the US Constitution is really the basis for the widespread carnage of abortion on demand and the implementation of the decadent and hedonistic homosexual agenda, then people of conscience like the 2nd and 3rd century Christians may as a form of civil disobedience refuse service. “Your honor with all due respect to your court, I would prefer not to be a juror or take this oath. In my heart I am have a deep antipathy for the institution that made the widespread killing of human life possible. If you force me to serve it is doubtful I will be able to concentrate and perform this service.” In the 1960s Mohammed Ali based on his religious convictions and conscience was excused from his civic duties. Will people of conscience be afforded the same courtesy today?
Not really. He made it clear that churches may advocate for biblical marriage, but he fell well short of saying they may freely exercise their religion to refuse participation in homosexual sham marriage.
