They should both be fired.
There is at least one key difference.
When the clerk took the job it wasn’t required she issue same sex marriage licenses. In other words it wasn’t what she signed up for.
When the stewardess took the job, it was an expected part of the job from the start. It is what she signed up for and is now balking after the fact.
I believe they are along the same lines and had the same thought.
But: There *is* a difference in that the stewardess knew from the beginning (well I can only assume so) that serving alcohol was part of the job, whereas the clerk had the newly-imposed req’ment to issue licenses to SS couples *after* she took the job.
Is there a difference? I am not strong on the clerk refusing to issue licenses. She was not hired for her religious acumen nor is exerting same part of her job description. She agreed to follow the law. Like it or not, the law changed.
And there is a difference with the bakers who were sued, as they, being self-employed, had discretion. And I am equally disdainful of the outcome as anyone here.
No because she doesn’t have some anti American group backing her and threatening to sue someone.
Yeah, sarcasm but still the truth.
No. KY law doesn’t include gay marriage. The rules were changed by judicial fiat after the clerk was elected.
