Trump says we MUST OBEY our lord and masters in black robes.

Bow down to the master and kiss his ring.

Would agree there are bigger fish to fry but as the old saying goes: It’s hard to remember your job is to drain the swamp when you’re up to your @ss in alligators.

The hell he is right.

It’s not about Trump. It’s about the Constitution and religious freedom. He doesn’t have a clue about either one.

Cruz or lose, baby.

Guess it’s too much to expect people who want to be our leaders to actually lead, huh?

Only reading the headline because of lack of paragraphs but Trump has said Davis should issue the marriage licenses. Cruz said he stands with Davis.

I stand with Cruz.

I didn’t read the unformatted paragraph but I agree with the title.

We are being invaded from the south. All hands to the battlements.

A bit-o-help?...Semper Fi.

Donald Trump is taking a lot of heat from people who would like to see him support the dear lady, Kim Davis, in Kentucky. Those same people, if they think about it are asking him to commit political suicide.

Trump is right, for now. Sorry. Everyone, and I include myself, is disappointed, but not surprised that 4 liberal justices and one who has always been sympathetic to the ‘queer class’ decided that homosexuals are a minority and deserve the protection of law and equal rights.

They have also ruled that the crucial parts of the ‘Defense of Marriage Act’ are unconstitutional. Deal with it like adults fellas.

The lady in Kentucky has every right to ‘civil disobedience’, if that’s what it is. Others say that she is the only one actually obeying the law. In other words there is no Kentucky Statute authorizing her to give a license to a homosexual couple. She may be right on that, but it will be a long slog through the courts to prove it, by which time the election will be decided.

Civil disobedience on a massive scale however would not reverse the legal process. The only way that marriage will ever be legally defined as ‘between a man and a woman’ in the country again would be through an amendment to the constitution, which is not going to happen when you consider the demographics, the support for and promotion of LGBT in the media and educational system, and the Federal bureaucracy. Or, perhaps, a few states could try seceding again.

Donald is smart. He wants to get elected. We can’t be dumb enough to ask him to die for what is, unfortunately, a lost cause. The problem here is that absolute moral judgements, not backed by the authority of divinity are just strong opinions. And, in the court of public opinion and in the court of law the opinion that gays should be denied marriage benefits has lost; and we no longer have a majority of people in this country who are committed to the absolute authority of the God revealed in the Bible. If you want to turn this country around in a moral sense... get off of Trump and get on your knees.

In the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley is a Bible that he treasured and got from his mother. In it’s glass case the book is opened and verses are underlined... they read... “...if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chron 7:14

Those who are against Trump for supporting the rule of law should all stop paying their taxes. Their taxes are still going to fund Planned Parenthood. To do otherwise would be hypocritical.

The hell it won't. It worked for the homos. Riots, lawsuits, intimidation and official malfeasance on a grand scale is what brought them from being a criminal class to a protected class.

Every Christian in America - and that used to be just about everyone - should be on the streets demanding the take down of the legal system if this is what it produces.

It's not their country. It's OURS.

I admire what Kim Davis is doing, but her case is weak. Unlike a baker or a photographer, she has willingly chosen to become a public official, part of the government. She is basing her argument on religious freedom, which is not relevant to this situation.

Davis ought to be basing her case on the rights of officials of the Commonwealth of Kentucky to be subject to the duly enacted laws of Kentucky under the protection of the 10th amendment to the US Constitution.

Our hero Ted Cruz is right in there

Now, to what real effect other than talk- talk remains to be seen

Trump and the rest of them cannot and should not be dragged into the weeds on every individual news story
Not only are they helpless to do nothing but the media will set them up
Onward
The world is in the bank of war
The economy is failing

When it comes to a real fight, Trump takes a pass.

We now begin to see what he’s really made of.

Trump is not taking Kim’s side because he is on the pro-homosexual side. He is a closet liberal and this proves it.

I support Kim’s right to refuse. She should step aside.

Just remember one thing: When concealed carry laws are passed in states and local sheriffs or police departments refuse to comply....how do we feel?

Government should be removed from marriage completely. Instead, government can issue a short-form contract that bestows legal status to another person (or persons) for the purpose of the law. A meaningless piece of paper.

Let marriage be a religious ceremony only carried out in private.

That is the answer.

Some think that the Kim Davis battle is the wrong hill to die on because they themselves either don’t agree with her or will never have the courage of their convictions to provide enough evidence to be put in jail. For others of us, this is a paramount issue—primarily because it is the tip of the spear in this generation’s war against God, but also because we anticipate that we will likely one day end up in jail because of our beliefs. Those who don’t have those beliefs worry more about marginal tax rates and such like. Sheep and goats. Wide road and narrow road.

nope. i’m afraid you’re going to find out, along with all trump appologists, that ultimately no one who mocks God, accomplishes anything of real value in this world.
