CARLY: KY Clerk refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses should DO HER JOB OR QUIT
The Right Scoop ^ | 9/1/15 | The Right Scoop

Posted on 09/01/2015 6:12:07 PM PDT by thetallguy24

Carly Fiorina says that while we need to passionately protect religious liberty, it is inappropriate for a Kentucky county clerk to continue to refuse to issue same-sex marriage licenses against a court order, because she is a government worker.

Carly says the clerk needs to do the government’s will and issue the licenses or quit and move to another job where religious liberty is more paramount. She says it inappropriate for this clerk to practice civil disobedience as a government employee.

The clerk has a pen and a phone. She has decided to not use her pen.

This is not without precedent for an elected official.

The late Governor Casey (D-PA), the father, not the present Senator son, took his pro-life stance to the logical conclusion and refused to sign any death warrants for those on death row for his tenure.

He did not resign over it, even though it was part of his job.

Deep inside all gays know their chosen life style is stupid, against natural laws and aginst Gods laws. So they take revenge trying to make others as miserable as they are and trying to force acceptance of their degeneracy...such as accepting gay marraige. Its pathological and not a surprise.

Of course many gays try to live quietly without forcing their gayness onto others. Good for them.

I am totally against the fag-marriage but if your job is to issue the permits then do the job or quit.

And if courts rule that you have to issue permits for Dog/Human marriages, you should do your job or quit?

If the court rules that County officials have to tattoo the arms of Christians, do you do your job or quit?

If the court orders you to load the cattle cars, do you do your job or quit?

At what point did the "I was Just Following Orders." excuse become valid?

I keep waiting for a state to stop issuing marriage licenses all together ...

It is my understanding that Oklahoma has done this. They did it specifically to prevent clerks from being required to issue pervert "marriage" licenses.

Kentucky should toss their marriage certificates too, and thereby tell the Court to go F*** itself.

Religion should have no every bearing on how a civil servant an elected official does their job.
If the people don't like her work, they can vote to recall, or refuse to elect her. Political choices can and should be governed by the MORAL POSITIONS that electees put forth in their work and in their private lives as well...

NO MORE COMPARTMENTALIZATION... if the candidates religion is not part of their work ethos and morals... they should be rejected as hypocrites. If their morals are offensive to the community they are campaigning to serve, they should not get the winner status. If the community wants different moral constructs in their political offices and candidates... they should vote for someone else.

we are NOT required to check our moral positions at the door. If the state says suicides are legal with a permit from some official... a good official would stay in their place and resist the evil REFUSING to obey the evil... and facing the consequences of disobedience to the immoral anti-God political structure... Godless communistic governments and rules should NOT be obeyed.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God -- Benjamin Franklin

She took an oath to uphold the laws of the land.

And she is. It is the court which is not.

This is not a "gray" area of meaning. Perverts used to be locked up in asylums. They had few legal rights because they were adjudged to be non compos mentis. Unable to make legal decisions for themselves.

In the 1780s, we executed them. This is a long held, and long settled body of law that has been upended at the whim of a bunch of left wing kooks, and their ruling deserves no respect or compliance. It deserves defiance and contempt.

Laws without a moral underpinning compel no respect, and indeed undermine the very concept of "rule of law."

Dear Carly:

We don’t need any more legal positivists—also known as NAZIS—in any government office.

Was it correct? Or was it the law. Because it was the law.

The Nazis made laws too. One of the first was that Jews could not hold government jobs including public office.

That is what this is, but applied to Christians.

Oh, and the Nazis were VERY Homosexual. They were founded in a Homosexual club called the Bratwurstgloeckl which is an obvious reference to a Weiner.

I do not think American forces which Conquered Nazi Germany accepted the excuse that government officials "Were just following orders."

Apparently they felt that it was axiomatic that immoral laws and immoral orders should be disobeyed.

Well, the State and the Feds disagree with you. And her.

If she cannot do her job, get another job.

Get another Fed.

Like it or not, its the way the rules are.

You certainly seem to be a strong advocate of "Der Staat uber alles!"

Why are you in such an all fired hurry to obey a state that has just tossed several thousand years of established societal foundation?

You should be fighting this overreaching power grab, not supporting it.

When the arbiters of law violate the social contract, there is no longer any moral compulsion to obey their diktats.

which “government’s will” is she talking about?

That's what jumped out at me too.

I can almost buy the argument that if you don't like the sight of blood, then don't get a job at a slaughterhouse, but the flip side is that only those willing to submit to the government become government reps....

"What if she were Muslim and refused to do something her job required because of the Quran?

Look, the SCOTUS messed up bigtime. Unless that can be changed, we're screwed and so is she."


That's my concern as well. Or what if a Gaea worshipper decides she's not going to issue any hunting licenses? Shall we applaud them for moral courage?

If the employee of a private business doesn't want to perform her job, that's between her and her employer. But government officials don't get to pick and choose.

I sympathize with her frustration, but her only options are to do the job or resign in protest.

Carly there is mans’ law and there is G*ds’ law. Which are you going to obey? Mans’ law, by definition, can not supersede G*ds’ law.
