:: James Yates and William Smith Jr. were turned away by a deputy clerk in Davis’ office ::
So the clerk in the next county over can issue said license. Go there, get an ML and then get hitched wherever you damn well please. The license is “good” thru-out the State.
Drama queens are the worst...male drama queens just contemplate on their wurst!
These guys could go to any of the surrounding counties and get the license if they wanted.
They are just in it for the show and to be snub-nosed ‘we will get our way...and our 15 minutes of fame’.
What part of “NO!” do these homos not understand?
She has that right under The First Amendment: The Supreme Court decision was created out of nothing.
And, by the way, the last time I checked the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is still on the books. A supreme court ruling does remove a law or render it moot. Only the legislative branch can amend or remove or replace a law that has been duly enacted.
The supreme court cannot change a law duly enacted by congress. The supremes can only offer their (in this case, misguided) opinion regarding constitutionality.

Nope. Try telling that to the colonists that stood on Lexington Green when the British came to confiscate their weapons. If this County Clerk is in need of armed guard services who will fend off any and all that would suggest they have some right to deprive her of her religious liberty, I'm happy to volunteer. Stand your ground, Davis!

Thomas More
He was executed for refusing to recognise Henry VIII’s divorce
It`s called religious persecution.
All examples of laws thaat were changed.
Escaped slaves were hunted down and punished within the law.
When women were not allowed to vote, did they vote illegally? Bad example.
In regard to civil rights, people who defied the law were arrested and prosecuted.
If you think a law is wrong, immoral, unfair, etc, etc, then we have the right to protest the law, petition the court, write our gov’t etc. We do not have the right to violate the law, whether or not we believe in the law or the process in which it became law.
This is similar to reports of Muslim grocery clerks refusing to handle pork at their checkouts. Do it or work elswhere.
My vehicle, with me driving, can safely travel our nation’s highways at speeds over 100 mph, conditions permitting. I cannot legally exceed the speed limit no matter what I think about environmental conditions. If I do and get caught, I can lose my privilege to drive.
This clerk is operating in defiance of the law (possibly, depending on this stay that may or may not be in effect). She can lose her privilege of working in her office.
When that law is immoral, violates our Constitutional rights, and is an affront to our God given rights we ABSOLUTELY have the right to refuse to comply with the law.
You've missed the point, and I'll restate my position on Civil Rights as an example. Laws that segregated blacks ("separate but equal") and required actions that white people didn't have to follow (surrendering their seats on a bus/sitting in the back of the bus, white only restaurants as just a few examples) were of course violated as part of the Civil Rights movement because those laws were IMMORAL.
When there is no civil recourse to address an immoral law, protests and active violation of that law by the masses is absolutely called for.
We have that exact scenario with "gay marriage." In every state that voted against legalizing and recognizing homosexual marriages, the US Supreme Court violated its solemn oath and God's law at the same time creating a new "right" for a tiny minority of people at the expense of the masses and majority's rights.
In your view, homosexual marriage is "settled" and we have the right to petition the courts to overturn the law.
That's patently ridiculous. The US Supreme Court has taken away that right by their ruling. There is NO OTHER OPTION than to refuse to comply with the law.
There are none so blind, as those who choose not to see.
Yup. Total drama queens.
Wait until after Aug 31st. Or, go to a different location that will issue the license. But, sensible alternatives don't make a political statement.
Wanna put an over/under on when the divorce is final? Days? Weeks? or Months?
You work for a court, you represent the court, not yourself.

Are you OK with a local sheriff rejecting CCW applications because he does not think citizens should have guns & believes SCOTUS ruled incorrectly in Heller?
