Let’s forget about religious principles that govern Ms. Davis’ life and talk about her job responsibilities. Which is to register lawful marriages (as Kentucky law defines them, between a man and a woman), and not marriages between, for example, a man and a goat. There is no federal law that defines marriages, created by US Congress and signed by POTUS. The personal opinion of five members of the Supreme Court may or may not be of interest to Ms. Davis, but it’s just not a Federal law. So Ms Davis does a wonderful job to uphold laws of her State, and she is not breaking any federal laws. Good job, Ms Davis!

Should The Law be that Marriage is defined as only Not Marriage, what would you do. (You are on a slippery slope here...)

That’s correct. She was following her State’s law. There is NO federal law or mention in the US Constitution regarding marriage between genders.

I think the KY voters added a provision to their State Constitution around 2004 that marriage was between two people of different sexes.
