“I agree, the law may be a travesty of justice, but until it’s overturned, gov’t workers have to follow the law. You can’t have a million county clerks making it up as they go. However, when someone doesn’t do their job, you let them go, not throw them in jail. Alas, Obama’s America.”
Amen
If you take the King’s shilling you are the King’s man.
He was a judge on one of the first seasons of Top Chef.
He seemed to know something about food, and seemed erudite.

For anyone who might want to quibble about whether or not what Blackstone said applies here (since it originated from England), his quote was included by Alexander Hamilton in his 1775 work - The Farmer Refuted.
This is what is called the law of nature, “which, being coeval with mankind, and dictated by God himself, is, of course, superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times. No human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this; and such of them as are valid, derive all their authority, mediately, or immediately, from this original.” Blackstone.
Christopher is extremely talented and I hope has his life turned around. Her three addict brothers at least help each other out when it isn’t dividing and tearing the rest of the family apart.
It’s also not about conduct, but about beliefs. This is a war on Christianity, pure and simple. Muslims will never be punished for exercise of their beliefs like Christians will, no matter how many people they behead or burn alive.
Monty Python skit coming into my head. Arrrgggg. I remember I think it was Cleese, going in to get a license for his pet fish. I need more coffee and I need to get ready for Mass.
Because one is a secular ideology and the other is a 1st Amendment Right.
Excellent post, thanks!
BS, you need to spend some more time reading this thread and get educated.
No. The First Amendment gives your no rights. You are endowed with those rights by your Creator. The amendment is there to remind the government not to try to take those rights.
Let apply a little logic....so how do you "overturn" it? what wording do you write.. at what level of the law do you pass it?...the law was understood before to mean one thing.. the the SCOTUS took that same law and said it did not mean it. It now states it mean the reverse..
That very odd because it did not nullify or end marriage..and it also did not open it up to anyone..it just added this one new meaning...
ok SCOTUS..how do i get the old meaning back..what are you new hoops we must jump to get back to the old intended meaning?
No new law was written as the SCOTUS does not “write” law..it is empowered to read and apply it only.
So what law must be written, what wording must be used and who must write it and pass it for the SCOTUS to follow it? .
I think when a court decides to change a 200 year understand of the law and a 2000 year understating of a common word..
it is obligated to say to all at the very least...if you now want this original understanding..marriage to be one man and women...
This is the how you must write it this is who.must write it...
But they do not..because see SCOTUS is writing law when it decides...it does not matter what is written. .they will overrule.....its "you can not get there from here..you can never get there"...that the court exceeding is power...
because the court has no power to write law..only read and apply..so the writer not the reader has the power of the final say..if you.have an honest reader
Your last paragraph: excellent point! (The rest was great, too)
Bookmarking, because what Kim Davis is asking for is important, and such a simple request.
One homosexual, three addicts, and Madonna. Something seriously f*ck*d up happened to them when they were kids.
Learned something new today.
Well said.
You’re right, but as I said, Obama’s America. Laws mean nothing. My larger point wasn’t about the “law” in particular.
I would say again, nobody should be thrown in jail for not doing a job.
