Actually, Fiorna is wrong.
She’s wrong in terms of standing up to tyranny, of course, proving she has no spine.
But she’s also wrong legally. As has been pointed out by legal freepers, the current Kentucky law says that the clerk cannot hand down marriage licenses to homosexual couples. The Supreme Court struck down that law, so now there is NO LAW on the subject in the Kentucky books. That means this clerk is right to wait for the Kentucky legislature to pass a new law.
Scotus has changed the law or struck down the law. Doing NOTHING is the proper response. The Supreme Court did not rewrite the law. That is a legislative function.
Who knows what the Kentucky legislature will come up with?
I’ve heard that one possibility is that they will have entirely new paperwork that requires no input whatsoever from any clerk.
I remember that a couple of centuries ago a small group of people stood up to the edicts of HRH George III.
Booshie in a skirt!
Why is it seemingly always inappropriate for good people to stand up for principle, such as Tea Party types, but then the whole of the corrupt MSM pant over themselves about the thugs in Ferguson, or support lies of the left such as “unarmed black teen”?
Ever notice this? And Fiorina piling on strikes me as pandering to the NYTimes. That is a disqualification of Fiorina in my book.
North Carolina actually passed a law that allows magistrates and clerks with religious objections to same-sex marriage to opt out of issuing licenses.
This should and ought to be an easy fix for Kentucky that accommodates both gay couples and individual religious employees.
Who asked Fiorina? What a loser. Next she’ll defend Walker’s Canadian Wall. How many H1B’s does she support? Top Cruz’s 500% increase?
Maybe put another way, is there anything she won’t pander on? She’s become the affirmative action candidate who had to get special rule change just for her. Pathetic, thought better of the Republican party.
So I suppose if the clerk would be ordered to shoot gay couples and refused it would be wrong also.
Carly shoots herself in the other foot.
And she’s toast.
Be interesting to see if she shares that “pearl of wisdom” on the big stage? Would be a sure ticket back to the kids table
Light those ovens, you have your orders. You work for the Fuhrer, he pays your salary, so no whining.
Carly is nothing but a hillary hack...she should be running with hillary, not against her...
Oh Carly! Laws are just suggestions now.
Son of Jim Bunning.
Nice work if you can get it.
Fiorina is a waste of time and only a GOPE spoiler. That is all.
She is not a real candidate.
The only valid goal here in this race is to break the back of the GOPE. None of the Kiddie Table Candidates are in this race to do that. Not even Carson.
Cruz has a modicum of legitimacy because he is hated in DC. However if breaking the business as usual GOPE is the goal, that puts cruze third in a two man race.
If she wants to be relevant she should stay off the distracting and irrelevant small topic questions.
Now that’s my personal opinion, any questions?
Carly wants to "fix" us. In a different way than Hillary of Obama, but we still don't need babysitters.
The real reason why Ronald Reagan was great was the fact that he understood that sovereignty of the people is what makes America great. And he did his level best to get out of our way.
Carly is completely clueless and useless.
From what I have read this woman in Kentucky is asking for here name to be removed from the documentation.Thats it.She will issue whatever but doesn’t want her name on it so I suppose they need to change her title,shitcan her or put the Governors name on the certificate.
