Oh, and, by the way...the view in question is NOT Kim Davis's view, it's the view of the people who make the laws for Kentucky and for the United States.
The question we need to start asking, urgently, is "Do the People of the United States have the right to impose, through legislation, their views on those who disagree"?
RE: The question we need to start asking, urgently, is “Do the People of the United States have the right to impose, through legislation, their views on those who disagree”?
The question in the title shows a mis-understanding of the idea of “imposing one’s view”. It also shows an unstated premise — that only certain persons have the “right” to “impose” his or her view and others therefore, have to meekly submit to that imposition.
Every single law that is passed, every single decision made by a judge, is in a sense “imposing one’s view” of something.
In this particular case, it is one’s view of marriage.
So, the question can be turned around — Does Justice Kennedy have the right to IMPOSE HIS VIEW of marriage on 310 million Americans, most of whom are Christians? A huge number of whom are DEVOUT Christians who believe that marriage is ordained by God to be one man and one woman?
So, who has the right to IMPOSE whose views?
If Kim Davis doesn’t ( as the author implies ), why do we give power to Kennedy to impose HIS VIEW of marriage on others?
The above question of course is not answered by the author, he simply assumes that Kennedy has the right.
You and I of course REJECT that premise.
