Okay, as far as letting the states decide, SCOTUS has overruled the states. So the remedy to that is to execute one of the checks on judicial power. Impeachment, removal of authority, etc.
NC opt out law probably hasn’t yet been tested with a federal challenge. Unless it provides a remedy such as an alternative process or person whereby SCOTUS’s abominated ruling can be satisfied, it too will be overruled by federal courts.
But a Federal version of that NC law is certainly worth trying.
RE: But a Federal version of that NC law is certainly worth trying.
This SHOULD BE DONE PRONTO. I can already see what’s going to happen to say, Military Chaplains ( effectively under Uncle Sam’s pay ) who refuse to solemnize gay weddings.
This will affect not only Christians, but Muslims and Jewish chaplains as well.
Just one of the many problems I foresaw when those 5 black robed judges decided to impose gay marraige on the country.
Here’s the rub — WHAT IF SUCH A LAW IS PASSED AND SAY, A PRESIDENT CRUZ SIGNS IT, AND THE ACLU CHALLENGES THIS LAW AND IT GOES TO THE SCOTUS?
This will then be Executive/Legislature vs Supreme Court.
What happens then?
And where in the constitution does it say that the SCOTUS decision overrides the will of the legislature who are accountable to the people?
