I also heard there is some rumor going around that anyone who doesn’t agree to conduct a wedding ceremony can be fined $1000, and get up to 18 months in the pokey in work...
So, even if that becomes a punishment, are you going to allow your preacher, minister, priest, Imam (Ohhhh, well, maybe not yer Imam)...take this hit???
Seriously, think about it...
I admire Ms Rodriguez for taking a stand to defend her 1st Amendment-protected freedom of religious expression.
But what seems to be a common pattern among business owners who have had major problems with pro-gay activist states unconstitutionally abridging their 1st Amendment-protected freedom of religious expression is this. They evidently dont know about their constitutional protections of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment which activist justices have actually been cherry-picking wording from to justify legalizing constitutionally unprotected gay marriage from the bench.
14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
So whats worse, activist justices who pervert the Constitution, or citizens who dont study the Constitution for themselves in order to catch when corrupt justices are lying about the Constitution?
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators and pro-gay activist justices along with it.
I mean, gays would have civil rights...like male and female married people.
That doesn't mean a church has to marry a gay couple, does it?
Oh, I know...the left will still rage!!
