I have no problem seeing it from that perspective.
However what’s going on here is MUCH more complex than the simple refusal of a governmental official to fulfill a task assigned to her.
For instance, my understanding is that a marriage license issued anywhere in KY is valid anywhere in KY (do I have that right?). These folks are deliberately targeting her because they know she’ll refuse. They can go to the next County over and get a license, today, if the so chose to.
So it’s easy to conclude that it’s not enough for them to get married, they ALSO want making a Christian violate her beliefs and conscience to be part of their sacred union.
Now thats extraneous to the legal issues here involving performance of her official duties. But it certainly should be part of the discussion about what’s, in the larger sense, really going on.
Excellent point. They could go to the next county over instead of targeting this one woman.
