Kentucky Governor Beshear’s directive to Kentucky County Clerks
Well, that’s interesting...I had not been aware of the existence of the Governor’s directive...so to say, (as I’ve been doing to liberals who show up on my facebook page) that she was under no compulsion to issue licenses absent further instruction from the state is incorrect...
Hmmm...rather a different kettle of fish...
The governor has no more authority than the supreme court to issue directives that are contrary to existing laws. If the governor wants to change a law he must persuade the general assembly to send him a bill that produces the desired result.
There is no delegation to the Federal government for their regulation of marriage, the power is reserved to the States.
For the USSC to use the equal protection clause to claim jurisdiction they must first adopt a radical and novel definition of “marriage”
Once the radical and novel definition of “marriage” has been adopted by the USSC they may then make a legitimate claim of an equal protection issue, but not until they have adopted the radical and novel definition of “marriage” is there an equal protection issue.
Not until they have adopted the radical and novel definition of “marriage” may they have the fig leaf of jurisdiction thus paving the way for the subsequent illicit imposition of the radical and novel definition of “marriage”
This circular absurdity is nothing compared to the breathtaking arrogance of declaring what the law of each and all of the States shall be.
By declaring that homosexuals may, in each and every State, marry, they have made themselves a Super-Legislature of ALL the States collectively as a whole - a Branch of Government which does not exist under the U.S. Constitution!
Not only have the made themselves legislators, they have erected a fourth Branch of Government. A fourth Branch of Government which substitutes its legislation for that of each and all of the States.
They have legislated. They have intruded upon the independent sovereignty of the States. They have acted entirely outside the Constitution.
To conceal and “justify” their compound criminality they clothe it with an invented “fundamental right” where there is no such right.
The compound criminality of Kennedy, Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan demands their impeachment.
