Pretty simple really “since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriages in all 50 states. “

The USSC did not legalize anything, they held that several states’ bans on gay marriage were unconstitutional (against the US constitution).

It was a wrongheaded decision by an activist court that threw out the 10th amendment in order to perform the mental contortions it took to get to where we are today. Now, several state’s laws on marriage are essentially meaningless and unworkable without new legislation from said states. Kentucky is in this boat...

“... Kim Davis, the Tennessee county clerk ...”

Huh? Does Kentucky know about this?!

The freaks will rush in to fill the void. They will refuse to marry normal people.

Let the homos print up their own marriage licenses via the internet. If you can get a will off the internet why not a marriage license?

The 14th secedes nothing of any other Amendment. Using this tactic would conflict with numerous others, and as such, would/should (logically) fall from consideration.

Of course, the same can be said vs. 16th. The 4th, 5th and 13th were never over-turned by the former.

As well as gun ‘control’, welfare, social security, etc. etc. etc.

And isn’t it religious discrimination against Christians to keep them from service in the government?

This is all about punishment of heterosexual society.

I do not disagree with you. It is, however, the argument they use to “prove” they are following the law, and then use this “law” to impose their will on the rest of us.

If we defy a judge, they can have you arrested. If you resist said arrest, the judge’s henchmen—the police—will beat or kill you.

It is, as I said, a tyranny. Judges are tyrants. Some are friendly, well-meaning, and even kindly, but they’re still tyrants. You cannot defy them and chose to go your own way. You MUST do their bidding if they so decide.

Unfortunately cases such as you point out all too often are never resolved. There are books published about all the old, outdated laws still on the books which are routinely ignored. I have long maintained that it is impossible to be a law abiding citizen now because if you obey one law you break another by doing so in many cases. Only the hopelessly naive think it is even possible to obey the laws of man any longer. You can obey God’s law as you perceive it but you cannot obey man’s law. Even the lawyers and judges cannot comprehend all the twists and turns, maybe I should say especially the judges in light of some recent decisions.

“We are already in a tyranny.”

What amazes me is that some still don’t think so! In my own view we have been under a form of tyranny since well before my birth five days before D-Day, even though it is far worse now.
