..and the ‘gay pride movement’ doesn’t have rights to show their ways in OUR faces....
Five Supreme Court Justices have no right to impose their view of “marriage” on others.
The courts have no constitutional authority to overturn thousands of years of natural law!!
What law did she violate? Is a question that no one wants to answer.
How can a ruling by the SC become the law of the land?
The author is wrong. The Governor and AG of KY violated the state Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) and the federal RFRA, placing Davis in the position of either violating her conscience or refusing to issue marriage licenses.
If the state is violating its laws, then the person who stands up for their rights is well within the bounds of the law.
The author tacitly supports a religious test for the office of KY County Clerk.
(But the author is correct in that there is NO excuse for hounding private businesses at all!!)
Men and sheep should be able to receive marriage licenses. /sarc
Davis ought to base her case on her duty to uphold the laws enacted by the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
....another hit piece against Kim Davis on Townhall.com?
I thought it was a conservative site.
“In any case, as a representative of her state’s government, Davis is obligated to comply with the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the 14th Amendment’s equal protection guarantee.”
SHE DID!
USSC can only void laws not make them up or change them. KY’s marriage laws were voided, so there is a void, i.e. no law. Kim Davis did not issue marriage licenses because marriage has no definition in KY or any state that hasn’t passed sodomite marriage.
Furthermore, USSC and federal gov. has no jurisdiction here because their powers are enumerated and jurisdiction over marriage is not an enumerated power.
Federal government is an evil entity, delenda est!
Shove it, Jacob. Equating racism with abiding by the tenants of Holy Matrimony won't fly. God's Law supercedes the Law of the Land.
The law is not only an ass but a very selective ass.
Marriage is government licensed sodomy.
The institution has been corrupted by America, The Corrupt.
It no longer has any value.
Another libertardian queer friendly idiot heard from.
I can see why he writes for Reason. But why would Townhall print this BS?
“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.
Based upon what law?
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?
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.
