Look at it this way. Lets take ALL the religious aspects of this matter off the table. Leave her moral convictions alone for a moment.
Was the SCOTUS correct in their ruling?
Was Mrs. Davis correct in following Kentucky law?
So WHY are you kicking her to the curb?
Is that you Rand Paul?
By all means, put your signature on a document proclaiming your approval of two homosexuals trading fecal material.
Sixty years ago we locked up homosexuals. Now we lock up anyone who doesn't approve.
Ginsberg and Kennedy, et al, have acted as legislators. They have acted as a super-legislature, un-elected, un-accountable, un-appealable - that is: DICTATORS.
Don’t know if it’s being televised; I doubt it. They are due back in court at 1:45 PM Central, with public defenders.
“Good. The idiot and Godless leftists have now created a martyr.
They want to jail Christians? They think this won’t backfire?”
I agree big time. This will backfire on the left in ways they cannot fathom.
I wish we could force more public officials into a position where there was no room to maneuver. It appears the only way to force them to do the right thing.
All good questions. As to couples who were shacking up, from my own family experience, would you or God for that matter prefer that these folks not get married? Same and even especially if the woman is pregnant? I am a retired and recovering divorce lawyer so I’m probably not a good person to answer the third question. I’m also Catholic and decided a couple of years ago not to file any more divorces. I don’t think that she has been issuing any licenses. I guess I’m curious as to what she is in contempt of. Indirect civil contempt is a tricky thing. I’ll be watching this closely.
Did G*d prohibit concealed carry? Did G*d prohibit drinking alcohol? The bible expressly prohibits male homosexual sex. The Bible defines marriage (a religious sacrament) as between one man and one woman. The Supreme Court is insane if it thinks it can over turn 5,000+ years of tradition without major push back.
Who's authority over us is given by the consent of the governed. The "governed" did not consent to this.
It appears that she is not allowing other clerks to issue the licenses either.
I've been perusing Kentucky law on the subject for the past several minutes. A few things pop up:
> 402.240 County judge/executive to issue license in absence of clerk.
In the absence of the county clerk, or during a vacancy in the office, the county judge/executive may issue the license and, in so doing, he shall perform the duties and incur all the responsibilities of the clerk. ...
> 402.080 Marriage license required Who may issue.
No marriage shall be solemnized without a license therefor. The license shall be issued by the clerk of the county in which the female resides at the time, unless the female is eighteen (18) years of age or over or a widow, and the license is issued on her application in person or by writing signed by her, in which case it may be issued by any county clerk.
Point 1: There is no provision in State Law for a deputy clerk to issue licenses. Also: it's a "may issue" clause - not a "shall issue". Same language exists on the title of 402.080 with regard to clerks.
Point 2: Only lesbian couples can legally satisfy the requirements of the application form (requiring a female in residence of the state/county)... never mind the other state-defined prohibitions to marriage among same-sex couples, of course.
The security people may be, the judges and clerks and other staff are under the authority of the Justice Department.
And sometimes putting them into a position where they can’t do anything at all is the best option.
Like I said earlier, Matt Bevins will most likely be the next governor due to this. And he’ll probably have a solidly-Republican State House of Reps due to it too.
Backfire? No, it won’t backfire on them at all. Christians in America are weak pacifists.
Freedom of Religion had died today, may God have mercy on America for we surely have no mercy on ourselves.
Is an Aztek sacrifice protected under the 1st amendment? If not then how can you justify allowing Christians to pray in public?
There are some hypotheticals that are not worth an answer.
I read that a judge offered to issue the license, but the sodomites insisted that Davis be forced to do it.
This is the nasty little tactic that your side keeps trying to foist over on us. Approving faggot marriage has NEVER BEEN HER JOB.
Doing the bidding of dictators who are operating outside of the rule of law is NOT HER JOB.
This is what the NAZIS did. They changed the laws, and then told everyone to "do your job."
Seizing Jews, and stealing their property became "their job."
