What she should not be required to do, and I believe this is what her lawyer is arguing now, is put her name on the marriage certificates for any “gay marriage”. She should have the option not to do that if she chooses. Those who say “it’s her job” to do so are part of the problem quite frankly. There is a demonstrable, objective difference between signing off on a marriage between a man and woman of different races or creeds and two men or women.

But it is her job. She runs the office. Whether her signature is on it or not, she is responsible for what comes out of her office.

SCOTUS has ruled that all couples are the same. That is the law of the land right now. She has to abide by it, or honorably resign because she can't.

That part of the Supreme court has no authority to define marriage do you not get? In the USMC I was taught to disobey unlawful orders. The Supreme Count ordering states to perform same sex marriages is an unlawful and immoral order. It is my duty to resist lawlessness. It sad to is so many uniformed people posting ill informed opinions that have no basis in fact.

Putting aside for the moment that it's not the SC job to "make" law, I believe the following quote applies regardless: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing-Edmund Burke"

"Resigning honorably" is doing precisely nothing.

This woman has planted her flag, but you think she should pull it up and "go home".

After reading your posts Dave, it becomes obvious - even to the casual observer - that your concept of honor is severely flawed.

I'm curious, On what issue would you draw the line and declare: "this far, no further!"?

On what issue would you risk your honor and fortune?

Why just "couples" if the 14th Amendment actually equires treating unequal things equally? Are you you to say the same thing when they rule that incest is the law of the land?

Cordially,
