“People cannot, in the name of religious liberty, insist on keeping a job when they are unwilling to perform the duties it entails.”

This is just a repackaged defense that Nazi officials used; the old “I was just following orders”.
I on the other hand expect Public Officials to refuse immoral orders.........it’s their duty.
The political editor for Town Hall, Guy Benson, is a proud homo. Megyn Kelly rejoiced by helping him out of the closet in an interview on her show earlier this year.
Based upon what law?
Nature and nature’s God designed the human race and the natural institution of marriage. It is a balance of nature—50% males and 50% female. Yin and Yang as the Chinese have noted.
You cannot redesign the human family or the human institution of marriage, this would be a disaster. If some people lack the imagination to perceive the future danger then they should be sent to the dunce corner.
Why did you think that?
Dittoes.
NO Kentucky statute makes any specification that these so-called “gay marriage” be recognized, that was an opinion issued by persons far removed from Kentucky.
I thought that’s what the contempt hearing was? No? She didn’t fight the charge?
She should have and she should have challenged the word “lawful” as pertains to judge’s duty to enforce certain laws.
Very fitting that this post is right above the post of Bob Barr’s blog on the same forum. Hey Bob, I’m sure you were all over they one too.
Our States and counties are our last line of governmental defense against tyranny.
Police and firemen who refuse to do their jobs are wrong, but so is comparing their duty to bakers and county clerks.
Which ones began their careers knowing their job descriptions would require servicing demanding homos?
and the ‘gay pride movement’ doesn’t have rights to show their ways in OUR faces....
I vote for that!!!!
Wrong. She was arrested for resisting others who tried to impose their faith on her.
Sullum is wrong. She wasn’t “trying to impose her faith” on anybody.
“Five Supreme Court Justices have no right to impose their view of “marriage” on others.”
The REAL story
The Supreme Court has no right to rule that 2 + 2 = 5. Only the tyranny described in the George Orwell novel 1984 actually believed that they could make people say that 2 + 2 = 5. Remember the chilling scene in which Winston is tortured until he repeated what his torturers wanted him to say “2 + 2 makes 5”.
This is what the Supreme Court is doing to us. They are forcing us to accept something that is untrue and insane.
I would also like to see a case based on the definition (or lack thereof) of "gay marriage." As far as I know, no one has defined "gay marriage" or explained how it fits into the context and purpose of actual marriage.
Townhall gone Sodomite?
IIRC Sullum was one of the writers at REASON along with belligerent pagan Virginia Postrel whose relentless contempt for cultural traditions and my own Christian faith led me to jump ship from what was clearly devolving into a leftist rag, where it has pretty much stayed. Whenever NR veers into the truth these days it is an accident. I expect nothing useful out of them with nitwits like Charles Cook and expect them to ditch David French almost any time now.
She did do her job. What you have is judgical activism both SCOTUS and the local fed court. He was telling her to do her job by following laws that don’t exist in Kentucky.
He threw here in jail for several days....and it backfired big time.
Wrong. Davis was jailed because she dare uphold the Kentucky state constitution. By her actions, she was also refusing to facilitate sin. She wasn't imposing anything on anybody.
How many times have judges overturned the votes of millions of people.
