Crime: Actively Thwarting FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAWS!
I do not forget the position assumed by some, that constitutional questions are to be decided by the Supreme Court; nor do I deny that such decisions must be binding in any case, upon the parties to a suit; as to the object of that suit, while they are also entitled to very high respect and consideration in all parallel cases by all other departments of the government. And while it is obviously possible that such decision may be erroneous in any given case, still the evil effect following it, being limited to that particular case, with the chance that it may be over-ruled, and never become a precedent for other cases, can better be borne than could the evils of a different practice. At the same time, the candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the government upon vital questions, affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made, in ordinary litigation between parties, in personal actions, the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their government into the hands of that eminent tribunal. Nor is there in this view any assault upon the court or the judges. It is a duty from which they may not shrink, to decide cases properly brought before them; and it is no fault of theirs if others seek to turn their decisions to political purposes.

Better said than the “useless” strategy used by Michael Medved on his show.

Crime: Actively Thwarting FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAWS!
They'll kill to make this happen. Literally. And soon.
Are members of the U.S. military still trained not to obey illegal orders?
Excellent post.
And Rosa Parks should have wsited for another bus or walked or taken a taxi.
Some things are self evidently wrong. Gay so called marriage is obviously wrong and unjust discrimination also.
No one should have to do wrong to have a government job or ride a government regulated bus.
I thought I read somewhere that Davis is a democrat? Go figure. Not many dems coming to her defense.
Do federal judges, even for the supreme court, place their right hand on a Bible and swear to God to uphold the Constitution?
Let’s forget about religious principles that govern Ms. Davis’ life and talk about her job responsibilities. Which is to register lawful marriages (as Kentucky law defines them, between a man and a woman), and not marriages between, for example, a man and a goat. There is no federal law that defines marriages, created by US Congress and signed by POTUS. The personal opinion of five members of the Supreme Court may or may not be of interest to Ms. Davis, but it’s just not a Federal law. So Ms Davis does a wonderful job to uphold laws of her State, and she is not breaking any federal laws. Good job, Ms Davis!

The text of the amendment states:
"Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Kentucky. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized."
