This author is an idiot. I’m really sick of people like this. Just go be a liberal if you don’t know that natural law and States’ rights trumps the decree of 5 reprobates.

Dittoes. But notice this is from the National Review. Seems like everything that comes from there is liberalistic pukeage.

[[How many Clerks in liberal States issued Gay Marriage Licenses against the STATE LAWS, ]]

Why are none of these clerks who VIOLATED state law being put in prison?

Would be nice IF the ‘newspeople’ on Fox news would bring this up EVERYTIME a hypocritical liberal says “Laws matter Laws need to be upheld, Laws have meaning”

Fox news should be making a BIG stink over this judge applying the law selectively by NOT going after all those country clerks who issued licenses AGAINST state law when homo marriage was not allowed!

easily refuted, one is a constitutionally protected RIGHT, the other is NOT- Nowhere in our constitution is homosexual marriage a protected right- however, gun ownership IS a constitutionally protected right, and it is specifically mentioned in the constitution- and it IS a NATURAL RIGHT and a NATURAL GOD GIVEN RIGHT for a man to be able to protect himself and his family- it is NOT a natural right for two men or two women to pleasure each other under the guise of marriage

[[A better example would be a radical Muslim who works in the Department of Motor Vehicle and refuses to grant driver’s licenses to women based on some religious objection to women driving. ]]

What would the answer to that be?

[[I’m heartened that at least one other Kentucky clerk has joined her in refusing to issue licenses. More, please.]]

Federal law CAN be defeated IF enough stands band together in a massive concerted effort to uphold their state sovereignty by refusing to comply with an unjust federal law- it’s been done before (can’t recall just now, but several states banded together and refused to either comply or enforce a federal law, and said they would arrest any federal officer that tried to enforce the law in their state, and the government was forced to back down

Sadly we don’t have enough states with backbone that aren’t sold out and who don’t cower In the face of governmental BLACKMAIL (when the federal gov threatens to withhold state funding) any longer- almost all states have sold their soul to the evil one- money talks

The supreme court INVENTED a new amendment by claiming the constitution protects gay marriage and that gay marriage is a right

Kim davis was right to do what she did because the supreme court decision was a sham The supreme court’s job is NOT to create law, it is to uphold law- and the federal ‘law of the land’ is bogus and invalid because of this fact

Courts do NOT make law, and Kim therefore has NOT violated any legitimate law=- and infact she has UPHELD Kentucky law that says marriage is between a woman and a man only

What we are witnessing is judicial supremacy where the federal court believes it has the right to invent law, then enforce this unconstitutional law, and where the federal court and supreme court feel they are more important than natural law and state sovereignty

ONLY Kentucky has the authority to order Kim to issue licenses to gay couples should the state decide that is what she should do, or if the people of the state vote for gay marriage (California VIOLATED the will of the people several times by over-ruling the people’s votes against gay marriage!)

Federal courts have no right telling state clerks they should issue licenses because it is NOT the job of the government to do so, ONLY states have that right

I saw someone post @ Facebook that Ms. Davis has been married and divorced 3x, and that doesn’t fit the liberals’ version of a “Christian” woman. Not that they would have a problem with her alleged multiple divorces if she weren’t standing up for ‘traditional marriage.’

It doesn’t matter. Just because someone has sinned once doesn’t mean other people can force them to repeatedly sin again. Why would anyone even suggest something so absurd?

RE: I saw someone post @ Facebook that Ms. Davis has been married and divorced 3x,

It’s hard for liberals to understand the concept of redemption and repentance but It cannot be repeated enough -— her previous marriages and divorces occurred BEFORE she became a born again Christian and took her faith seriously.

It appears the conservative moment has many cowards that are unwilling to stand against evil.

These legal battles usually are as much PR as law. The fight is for the ‘principle’ rather than any individual involved. I.e., Norma McCarvey, Heller, or Lt.Col. Lakin. The individuals are usually people of principle who are willing to be the sacrificial lamb for the ‘cause.’ And, usually, lawyers act as producers to pick a sympathetic individual to be the ‘face’ of the issue.

A woman whose past doesn’t conform to “Christian values” doesn’t serve that purpose. (3x divorced, not once). I have no idea if the lib meme on this is true, have only seen it in the one place, but do wonder if the lawyers chose the right ‘face’ for the cause.
