Good for him, bad for the rest of us, as he will be replaced with a toady who will act according to governmental dictates.
Wimp. If he performs the marriage, he can say anything he wants.
I wish he would resist rather than resign. Make the county force him out.
Amazing.
Most people’s god is their paycheck.
DO NOT expect American cops and American soldiers to refuse to kill you, if they are ever ordered to do so.
Bravo Mr. Breedlove. You are a good and a wise man, a rare breed in America these days.
May God reward you handsomely for your loyalty.
If all decent judges resign, we will be in deep trouble.
Better to refuse all weddings, or to “schedule” all weddings for a personally convenient time - at least ten years in the future. We cannot deal with today’s far left thugs in good faith, as if they were decent people who will suddenly recognize that they are trampling our basic human rights and back down. They understand that they are trampling our God-given and constitutionally-protected rights, and that is their goal.
We are dealing with pure evil, and we cannot surrender any part of the battlefield to America’s enemies.
Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne,—
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own.
We see dimly in the Present what is small and what is great,
Slow of faith how weak an arm may turn the iron helm of fate,
But the soul is still oracular; amid the market’s din,
List the ominous stern whisper from the Delphic cave within,—
‘They enslave their children’s children who make compromise with sin.’
-from James Russell Lowell, “The Present Crisis”
And sadly, he will be replaced by a Leftist judge.
Not many will, being a judge is good work.
Remember the good old days when perverts kept their shame to themselves?
I’m getting to the point where I don’t see how any decent or devout Christian would have anything to do with a government or a nation that has become so depraved and so evil as America has become.
But, who knows? After all, I’m still planning to vote in two weeks and still planning to pay taxes. So I’m still participating. But it sure doesn’t have the same meaning to me it once had. I’m finding for the first time in my life that I really, REALLY am starting to fully comprehend, down to the deepest recesses of my soul, why those in Europe fled to the ‘new world.’
"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."
There's a religious test now: If you have a religion to which you actually adhere, you are not allowed to serve in a position of public trust.
I think we have a constitutional crisis.
I’ve been meaning to ask my judges here in Johnson County KS. It was stayed but the admin judge said that the marriage license bureau had to provide licenses to same sex couples.
Why resign? Just refuse and MAKE them impeach you (they won’t).
God bless him. I know it creates a vacuum for evil, but there are some things a Christian God-fearing man just cannot do. The saying is God, country, family. God is always first.
Same-sex marriages are not “now permitted under the state’s law.” It’s something that is being forced on the state by a federal judge. There’s no state law allowing for it.
I hate these lies. North Carolina's laws remain unchanged. The only thing that has changed is that a court issued an immoral, unconstitutional, illegal order.
It's past time to stop obeying those kind of orders. They are by every original American definition, null and void.
I think it is a big mistake to resign. Tell them to go to hell, and make them remove you.
Seems to me that forcing decent judges to resign is a win for the leftists, too. Better to stay and fight.
Multiple references throughout the article to “the state’s new laws” and suchlike.
The Big Lie technique.
And most people, even conservatives, buy right into it.
