Defund NPR.
(Republicans voted last month to keep NPR/PBS funding at current levels)
“....Defying legal decisions that go all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court...”
Izzat the same Supreme Court that OK’d slavery?
Thought so.
Shove it, NPR....up your Obamahole.
The Old First Amendment to the US Constitution as read by me:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
The New First Amendment to the US Constitution as Read by the Courts:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, except Congress may prohibit the free exercise of religion for public officials and business enterprises when their beliefs conflict with official duties or the ordinary course of their commerce, and upon objection made by a public official or business enterprise, proscribe the free exercise of religion with jail and/or fines as a contempt of court, or barring from public office or from engaging in commerce in the United States of America; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
The living, breathing Constitution.
“[Why she can’t be fired]”
You can’t ‘fire’ an elected official.
Nice take-down NPR, now what specific law is she breaking again?
A modern Rosa Park...
This happens in KY so friggin' often, it's to weep.
Political offices there are handed down as part of estate sales.
I am so glad I'm not there anymore...
bump
The only facts that matter are 1) the position is elected, and 2) what avenues within the State of Kentucky are available for removal of a Clerk?
Number of divorces, religion (when gained, how strong) don’t matter except that claiming actions against her religious beliefs should not be sanctionable - lest every specious MUSLIM claim be similarly ignored.
MUSLIMS and queers cite their ‘personal objections’ all the time. How is it that their objections are so much more important.
Screw this government very much.
Oddly, once the federal judge set up his judgement....he’s invalidated Kentucky law, but there’s nothing to replace it (like new Kentucky law). So, the Feds might be able to prosecute on the angle that she’s not obeying the judge, but since there’s no federal law covering this, and no state law, I’d be curious how he’ll handle it other than holding her in jail until she agrees to participate with his will.
In this gal’s situation...I think she’s willing to do not just days, weeks and months...but years.
What’s interesting here if you compare foreign law....for example, in Germany....if the Supremes in Germany say that some state or federal law is wrong....then they give them a year for legislative process to crank up a new law and pass it.
NPR view of a county clerk who illegally issued marriage licenses to Homosexuals:

Well, let’s say for the sake of argument ( ridiculous as it is ) that the above is written into the constitution... when did Congress PASS A LAW legalizing same-sex marriage?
THEY DID NOT.
What happened was 5 black robed people sitting in Washington DC decided to write the law for the nation, something they are NOT ALLOWED TO DO by the constitution.
I hope the people who see the divorce section of the hit pieces realize this was before her conversion from Liberal to Christian.
Wow!................and the governor of KY is a Democrat, as well...............
“Defund NPR.”
Seems to me that our time would be better spent, making new law that would provide for the citizens being able to vote on all Judges ( including the SCOTUS) in retention elections every few years. Make them all accountable to us.
In Florida, I don’t know about KY, the governor can remove any elected official in any county from office for malfeasance, felony or incompetence..............
THIS is news? Had this been written during the Montgomery bus boycott, would it have read as follows?
Rosa Parks, who has become a divisive figure in the national debate on civil rights, has been summoned to a municipal court on Thursday for a hearing on whether to hold her in contempt.
You don’t see it.
I don’t see it.
But, obviously, the Court sees it.
