Agree. Prosecutors and judges who object to the death penalty on religious grounds do not have to prosecute or hear those cases. They recuse themselves and the work is given to those who have no moral objections.
This is also true of people who have moral objections to combat, and should also be true for abortion or gay marriage.
Yes, exactly.
The point here isn’t about Government officials doing or not doing their jobs. It’s about what reasonable accomidations need to be made for individual government employees required to engage in acts they believe to be immoral.
Kennedy seems to be straight out chucking the concept that reasonable accomidations based on faith and morality can exist for government employees.
THAT is scary as all hell coming from a SCOTUS Justice. Especially since that Justice is the asknowleged “moderate” on the Court.
