A Nebraska trucking company fired a Muslim for refusing to drive a truck with a load of Alcohol. The DOJ sued the company for 200,000 and won, saying in part that they violated his religious beliefs.

This is really just an attack on Christianity (which was the intent of gay marriage in the first place (my opinion).)

First of all, it was Illinois. In that case there were two employees in question and in the words of the EEOC argument, “Everyone has a right to observe his or her religious beliefs, and employers don’t get to pick and choose which religions and which religious practices they will accommodate. If an employer can reasonably accommodate an employee’s religious practice without an undue hardship, then it must do so.” That’s the law, and Star Transportation made no effort at accommodation and simply fired the drivers.

In this case the subject is not an employee, but an elected official - one who despite a number of court rulings and direct orders refused to obey the law. Should the state go through the expense of holding a special session just to impeach her? Yesterday she said, “And if I left, resigned or chose to retire, I would have no voice for God’s word.” The people of Kentucky don’t pay her (three times the county median income) to preach, they pay her to be a county clerk.
