The issue goes to the heart of constitutional law.
Question 1: Did Kentucky pass a law legalizing same-sex marriage?
The answer is ‘No’
Question 2: When Kim Davis swore to uphold the law, which law is she referring to?
I believe it has to be the law of her state first and then of course the constitution.
But the law of her state does not legalize gay marriage. In what sense then is she not upholding Kentucky law?
As for the Constitution, where in that document does it say that just because 5 justices say so, something is now law?
Justices are not there to legislate.
Therefore, Kim Davis DID NOT VIOLATE ANY LAW and should be freed.
The OP will not be responding...
There are lots of state laws on the books that are invalid and unenforceable. Federal law trumps state law.
