If only the courts and executive branch weren't making them up as they go along...instead of the irrelevant Congress.

It's too that isn't what she's basing her argument on. But her statement that she doesn't have to do it because it violates her personal beliefs I can't go along with. She should be basing it on the 10th amendment and scotus overreach, not claiming a 1st amendment right to decide which parts of the job she will or won't do. Cruz saying that this means no Christian can hold any government job is absurd too. Is he saying that every government job has something objectionable to Christians? And if anyone has any religious objection that prevents them from doing a job they should be able to not do it keep the position? Cruz is too smart a lawyer to believe that.

Trump was speaking as our PRESIDENT . . not as just an American/Christian like the rest of us are.
As President . . he will be compelled to fairly represent ALL Americans . . and that includes Atheists and Gays and (gasp) Liberals, too, along with every other type of American who lives here and pays taxes. As President over ALL Americans . . Trump spoke fairly. We just don’t like the situation but we shouldn’t kill the messenger over it.
