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.

Fiorna IS DONE, as far as any Christian voting for her should go.

If I were the Kentucky legislature and had a bit of humorous side...I’d make a all-in-one license (hunting-fishing-marriage-etc). Then I’d make the license valid for one single year, and you had to keep showing up on the 365th day, to re-register your ‘all-in-one’. Then I’d stamp it on the bottom....valid only within the state of Kentucky for that one-year period. Hand it back to the federal judge then and just let him sit there in a daze.

Fiorina says “inappropriate” for the clerk of Gallia Narbonensis to refuse to offer a pinch of incense to the shade of the Divine Emperor.

Absolutely. Carly is farrrr more competent than that witch, Hillary, and would love nothing more than a chance to prove it, but yes, she is liberal, wants to change NOTHING on the social direction, and definitely is quietly pandering to the Chamber of Commerce, I can promise you that.

Doing so is the same economic game that has taken the country down and it involves illegals. Carly will be a UNIPARTY nominee, should she make it.

The clerk’s not even arguing she needs a law to so specify it—and Fiorina, not nearly my candidate, is right. If her conscience keeps her from performing the clerk’s duties, she should resign.

I don’t want to begin to think of all that Muslim employees would refuse to carry out.

[Psalm 144]

So Fio also disregards the 10th Amendment. She would be another fed diktat type.

Fiorina supports legislation that would grant full citizenship to the children of illegal aliens…

..."I would support the DREAM Act because I do not believe that we can punish children who through no fault of their own are here trying to live the American dream."

And open to granting the parents citizenship as well…

"I think legal status is a possibility for sure."

"Carly defended Islam" following 9/11....

Fiorina praised Islam in a speech just two weeks after 9/11– with hundreds of mutilated bodies still buried in rubble at Ground Zero…

...She says,..." America is “indebted” to the Islamic civilization, whose “gifts are very much a part of our heritage.".....“When other nations were afraid of ideas, this civilization thrived on them, and kept them alive. When censors threatened to wipe out knowledge from past civilizations, this civilization kept the knowledge alive, and passed it on to others.”.......Under Suleiman three continents were “allowed a degree of peace and prosperity that had never been known.”.. And,... the “Islamic world from the year 800 to 1600, which included the Ottoman Empire and the courts of Baghdad, Damascus and Cairo, and enlightened rulers like Suleiman the Magnificent … contributed to our notions of tolerance and civic leadership.”

Now that CNN rigs the debate to favor Carly, we're going to have to sit through two hours of the liberal Republican tell us how conservative she is! And how she fought her way into the debate because she's a woman.....

In 1954, Kentucky law required that schools be segregated. SCOTUS struck down that law as unconstitutional. Did that mean the schools could not be desegregated until Kentucky passed a new law? Because that's not what happened.

Congratulations! That is the FIRST reasonable thing I’ve read on this matter. Kudos to you.
