Running away is surrendering this fight.

There is much truth to this. Can we bring attention to this disparity of justice by simply fading away? Or is Truth better served by screaming and fighting to the last man?

I know this, the enemy (liberals and liberalism of both parties) want us to quietly slink away. Therefore the answer must be to stand and fight.

Meh, quitting is kinda a cop out. Stay and refuse to comply, make the libs try to force her out off office.

I think she should've stayed put. She chose to surrender rather than fight. We'll LOSE if we do this. Hell, we ARE losing. I blame CONGRESS for confirming AMERICA-HATER, GOD-HATER justices to the Supreme Court.

The day Elena Kagan was confirmed I knew America was FINALLY finished. She is evil and I'd be interested to know if she has any hypnosis or para-psychology training that influences other justices UNEXPLAINED decisions.

Methinks the sodomites really don’t understand what the rainbow represents.

There might be precedent, but it is no longer of any use.

The Constitution SPECIFICALLY protects freedom of religion.

NO WHERES does it mention “marriage” or “queers” or “queers and marriage”.

But man’s new law WILL supersede Gods law.

I hate to sound so prophetic or mysterious or religious but thiz is seriously looking like the end times!

I would like to know whether she was elected or appointed?

If elected, then this would be all the better because now it brings forward both her rights and the “will of the voters”.

No elected official is required to give up her Constitutional rights. I remember not so long ago that some leftist chick named Lois Lerner - she was not required to give up her 5th Amendment rights as an appointed official.

Was she elected or appointed

All of this arguing back and forth about whether she should have resigned or fought....

Given her statements of faith, I imagined she prayed quite hard over this. If she felt led to resign, who are we to argue?

Maybe God needs some of both....some popular, locally beloved officials to resign in a big, public way, and some to dig in and carry forward fighting the big, public lawsuits as they roll in.

Someone with less conviction will replace her but I wish I had a job to offer her.

They wouldn’t just force her out of office. They’d sue her into oblivion.

The thing is siince she is THE clerk and her signature is on that legal document. She is in effect endorsing the marriage. Read Romans 1:31-32.

Agreed. She prayed and obeyed. That is how you become a success in life.

I don’t know who you are to malign this good woman....

...but let me ask you.....What have you done lately...or anytime.....to uphold Godly faith and principles?

You’re very eager to tell her what to do.....over and over, post after post

What she did took soul searching and courage....

Who are you to disparage her???????

I have a friend in NM who quietly resigned as County Clerk as soon as ssm was “blessed” by the state. She would/could not have her signature on such licenses.
