The Kentucky constitution says that marriage is only between one man and one woman. Gender is mentioned but not race. Thank You for equating discrimination against blacks with being against an unnatural marriage. That was a very liberal use of a straw man.
Your turn.
Where is the statute that authorizes Kim Davis to issue a marriage license to two men or two women?

Thanks for the legal interpretation as well.
I mention race because, as you know, many states had laws prohibiting marriage based on race. That is, until SCOTUS invalidated all such prohibitions across the country in 1967.
However, some states failed to repeal or rewrite their statutory prohibitions in a timely manner after that 1967 decision.
Alabama did not repeal their law until 2000. Is it your position that every single marriage performed in Alabama between 1968 and 2000 is null & void/illegally done because SCOTUS voided marriage laws as they relate to prohibitions against interracial marriage?
Again, please contact Davis's attorneys with your legal theory. They will be thrilled to hear from you.
The same statute that authorizes her to issue a marriage license to a man and a woman. The Supreme Court ruling only struck down those parts that prevented licenses being issued to same sex couples.
Kim Davis is not arguing that she won't issue marriage licenses to same sex couples because the civil code prevents it. Thanks to the Supremen Court it doesn't. She says that she can't issue them because her moral code prevents it. That her understanding of God's word prevents it. That her duty to God outweighs her duty to mere civil law. That's a much higher cause than arguing over whatever man-made law says.
