“Kim Davis was asked to certify that two men, or two women, could be appropriate partners in a marriage. She could not, because to do so would contradict what she knew—what you and I know, what everyone has known for centuries—about the nature of marriage. “
Actually, her legal position was that to do so was in violation of Kentucky law and that the governor’s ‘edict’ was in violation of the Kentucky constitution.
No, actually. The article sums up her legal argument pretty well, although it misses the fact that this issue is a direct result of the governor’s and attorney general’s blatant violations of state law.
When I read the brief filed on her behalf, I realized how badly I was missing the mark when I argued the nullification side of things.
