This is semantics. How SCOTUS interprets the law is how it is enforced. I don’t like their decision one bit, but I don’t like how my boss interprets the company’s policy either at times. I have a choice: stay or quit. The only other option is the Black Lives Matter option (chaos), and that is no option at all.
Do you realize that in Kim Davis (as elected county clerk) is the one who is charged with interpreting the county's policy? She is THE BOSS.
Why do you want her to quit? Do you have no stomach for a fight against JUDICIAL TRYANNY? Should we all cower when the Supreme Court issues an OPINION?
Where in the Constitution does it say that a Supreme Court OPINION is the law of the land?
You have a choice? Stay or quit? Sure. NOW you do. But to allow this tyranny will soon result in you having NO choice. We are just a step away from being FORCED to quit or deny our "hate-group" (religious) affiliations.
The only other option is the Black Lives Matter option (chaos), and that is no option at all.
Wrong.
“[A]ll men are equally bound by the laws of nature, or to speak more properly, the laws of the Creator.”
— Samuel Adams
“The instruments, by which [government] must act, are either the authority of the Laws or force. If the first be destroyed, the last must be substituted; ... and where this becomes the ordinary instrument of government, there is an end to liberty.”
—Alexander Hamilton
“When human laws contradict or discountenance the means, which are necessary to preserve the essential rights of any society, they defeat the proper end of all laws, and so become null and void.”
— Alexander Hamilton
Because these things are so, we citizens have the right, duty and even an obligation to deny and defy judicial tyranny.
