Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said that while it was too bad Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis was put in jail over her refusal to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples, people have to abide by the Supreme Court's ruling on the matter.
"Well, you know, she was released and that was good, and it was too bad that she had to be put in jail, and I'm a very, very strong believer in Christianity and religion, but I will say that this was not the right job for her," Mr. Trump said on Tuesday evening's "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News. ...
"Because we had a ruling from the Supreme Court and we are a country of laws and you have to do what the Supreme Court ultimately, whether you like the decision or not, and it was a 5-4 decision, whether you like the decision or not, you have to go along with the Supreme Court" Mr. Trump said. "That's the way it is." ...

A government that does NOT recognize religious liberty is much more important than all of the things you listed. And a candidate that does not recognize that the Supreme Court cannot be the final arbiter of our freedom should not be president.
I hope it’s just something I ate."
It isn't.
I just watched Cruz's speech at the rally today. Holy cow...he's miles above the rest.
Bingo. She is the one following the law. People keep missing that point. She is following the law. The judge threw out the law. She didn't.
Even if you accept his authority to throw out any law he doesn't like, the fact remains that he cannot impose law. But he is doing just that. He is the outlaw here. Not her.
She knows what marriage really is all about.
*****************
She should as she’s been married four times to three different men. She had twins a
few months after her divorce from her first husband. She married husband #2 and the
father of the twins was her to be husband #3. She divorced #2 and married #3. She divorced #3
and remarried husband #2 and he has adopted the children.
A screwed up life and certainly not a role maker as far as I’m concerned. You opinions may
differ as is your right.
He's pandering to the swarms of homosexuals and other perverts in D.C. and the Media.
I think she and Trump both define marriage the same way.
Wrong.
We are all sinners.
Moses actually killed a man.
David was an adulterer.
St. Peter was a liar.
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone at Kim Davis.
She showed remarkable courage IMHO.
Do you actually expect someone unwilling to defend a woman illegally jailed in Kentucky to protect America?
Thank you for recognizing the real, dire priorties...
You mean not blindly following a lifelong liberal who knows how give sound bites that appeal to populists?
See how long ANY religious liberty is recognized when a hard-left liberal is elected, b/c too many “social conservatives” either stayed home or voted against the best candidate to get us out of this mess, simply because said candidate did not have the same cookie-cutter values of a smaller collective voting bloc.
I’m feeling queasy about this woman. Don’t trust her motives. Has a slight smell of 15 minutes of fame about her. Faux martyr? It seems to me that no sort of accommodation is going to please her. That makes me suspicious.
Before the USSC’s decree from on high, there was no requirement for her to act contrary to her religious beliefs.
Her convictions didn't change. The circumstances of her job changed after she was hired.
If those circumstances were in place at the time of her hiring, she would have probably not taken the job.
Trump is wrong on this. Christians are being forced out of public jobs the way the NSDAP did with Jews.
“Trump as I’ve said numerous times from the very beginning lacks gravitas and he will collapse sooner or later.”
Don’t you wish.
A religious test for a govt position is illegal. Trump is saying without realizing it that Christians should be discriminated against.
Mega dittoes.
Look. Davis was being FORCED to resign. If this is allowed to stand, then the precedent will be set. All Christians will be required to support same sex marriages or be denied a job. And if this is true for government jobs, then hey! Lets apply it to private sector jobs as well.
Oh wait. They already have. Bakers, florist and others MUST accomodate the homonazis.
We don't have to show equal consideration for all viewpoints or religions. The Country was constructed with a deliberate Bias for the Christian Religion, and was never intended to regard positions outside this framework as being on an equal footing.
Substituting an ad hoc, made up pile of Obama excrement for a previously existent and universal standard of morality, simply undermines all other laws.
I am so glad to hear someone else is getting the same feeling. Color me suspicious also.
I could go into a long discussion of the difference between a culture that had a millennia old understanding of marriage rejected by a radical court, and a culture that has a millennia old record of supporting self-defense, but I’ll spare you.
The question is this? Since marriage licenses are just a tiny fraction of what our civil bureaucracy does, why isn’t there some way simply to hand a person a form, have it reviewed by their lawyers, have it notarized by a notary, and have it filed in a file system? Whether it’s a marriage, concealed carry, or divorce, ALL of those would work with that system and no public official would have to be approving or disapproving of any of those documents. It’s between you, the law, the lawyers, and the filings.
changing the law will require a constitutional amendment; which is not going to happen. So the States should just get out of the marriage license biz or change the name of the license to cjvil Union and allow it to be purchased on line so employees are not involved in the process.
It is the sort of government that recognizes "gay" marriage that is the root cause of these other problems.
As George Will put it, (and I paraphrase), "The Problem is not Obama the fool. The problem is that we have an electorate which would elect such a fool."
