Quite frankly, I don’t see that one at all. First Amendment issues will prevent the actually ordering of performing marriages.

This is just an argument I’ve never bought.

Oh just like our "right never be be forced to pay for any abortion, which I consider to be pre-meditated murder, of another?"

Obama and Obamacare removed that "right" from me, just like the Supremes took away the right for a business owner to engage or not, in business with whomever they choose, nope, that "right" no longer exists.

How about my "right of me and some of my pro-life friends," to go near any abortion clinic and merely pray for those innocents savagely slaughtered inside, nope, I'm only allowed to "offer up prayers" where no one can see or hear me, according to the Supremes.

How about private property rights, any government can take your property and sell it to another, if that government believes they could get more tax dollars from someone else than you, or if someone or group pretends that an animal or insect walked across your property, you no longer can do anything with it as you wish!

Now for our vaunted First Amendment rights, ever heard of anyone uttering, God Bless You to another, being told they may not utter such "offensive words," or any Christian closing a prayer in the name of Jesus and being told that must stop, yet the "rights" of others to scream, "Allah Akbar (Allah is Great) while either shooting or cutting off heads, hey, no religious offense here, move along, nothing to notice, it's his First Amendment right to utter those words while savagely killing others as "Workplace Violence?"

Not only is anyone involved in granting "marriage licenses" not granted a religious exemption from doing so, but now each and every pastor who desires to keep his/her license, must perform these pagan ceremonies for sosomites, or be left without that license.

Easy enough to walk away from that license but what about one's First Amendment?

Actually, it's going to a pleasure to "suffer persecution for His Name," for He was persecuted and killed for our sin and He told us, if we take up our cross and follow Him, we are to expect persecution, so now it is clear, our time is coming soon.

Sodom and Gommorah anyone?
