With all due respect, that's a terrible argument. New laws are passed all the time.

No new law was passed. Existing, duly enacted law of a sovereign state was declared null and void via SCOTUS diktat.

It is the governors and legislators of those states who have failed us, including mine.

That's a whole different approach. She would have had a strong legal argument to make if that was the case, but she never made it. She has based her whole case on "religious convictions" argument, and never cited the Kentucky statute at all (as far as I know).

If her intent was to follow the letter of the law, she would have signed the marriage licenses for the heterosexual couples and refused to sign them for the same-sex couples. This would have exposed the whole system -- including the Kentucky state government and the Federal courts -- as the complete fraud that it is.
