I thought a little more about your interesting post #8. You've got me wavering, just a bit. But just for kicks, let me throw out this hypothetical. Suppose a devout Muslim was the manager of a government cafeteria. And suppose he, as a matter of course, refused to have any pork products in his cafeteria. No bacon for breakfast, no BLT sandwiches for lunch, etc.

Would he get an exemption, because otherwise no devout Muslim could ever become a manager there. Or would he be forced to resign? It's probably the latter, but in today's environment one never knows.

RE: This clerk is not only not handling marriage licenses herself, she’s preventing anyone else in the county clerk’s office from doing so.

So, what’s her problem? Is it because she has to SIGN the marriage license?

Why can’t there be a compromise that allows somebody else in the country office to sign it?

It’s a simple solution that could avoid litigation. All we need is a simple act of legislation.

He would get a promotion. Seriously. It is way cheaper than the litigation, and everyone is happy.
