I would have counseled her to quit right then and there, and fight the battle in a situation where she had a chance of winning.

If she quit due to being confronted with the marriage license then they still could've went after here. In any case, this is an abomination, with Robert's creativity being rightly condemned by Scalia

In Obergefell v. Hodges Justice Scalia stated that the majority's Equal Protection analysis was “quite frankly, difficult to follow" and “fails to provide even a single sentence explaining how the Equal Protection Clause supplies independent weight for its position." " The ruling was nothing more than a "naked judicial claim to legislative — indeed, super-legislative — power; a claim fundamentally at odds with our system of government." "A system of government that makes the People subordinate to a committee of nine unelected lawyers does not deserve to be called a democracy." - http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/14-556_3204.pdf

A nation that sanctions abomination is under condemnation and headed for damnation. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Psalms 9:17)

So, you’d not condone a soldier who took an oath who walked away from the battlefield because all of a sudden found himself to be a contentious objector? Everyday someone is fired from a job because they refused to do something that within their responsibilities. Belief or not, if you refuse to complete something you are paid and were hired/appointed to do then said employer has every right to can you on the spot. As the poster said, she should have resigned now she is learning the hard way.

> A nation that sanctions abomination is under condemnation and headed for damnation.

It breaks my heart to have to say, I agree with you completely.

As a Nation, if we are to survive, we have to turn away from the decay and decadence that have overtaken America in the last 60 years. We have to seek God, and beg His forgiveness and mercy, in whatever way we can do so honestly and sincerely.

Most of all we have to turn this great ship of state around before it is completely aground.

I am 72 now, and probably will not live long enough to see America's fate play out -- I may only get to witness further decline. But I pray that my daughter gets to see the reversal and return to the virtues and principles of the Founders, who knew and clearly stated that our Constitutional Republic required that its people be "moral and religious" (in the words of John Adams).

God willing, this can be done.

In my humble opinion, the Supreme Court actually ruled correctly in Obergefell on the constitutionality of the matter at hand (the injustice of preferential provisions for married couples under Federal tax law).

Where the Court got it wrong was the REMEDY they mandated — i.e., overturning state marriage laws all over the nation. The true remedy should have been to address the issue from the standpoint of Federal control — by overturning any provisions of Federal law that address married couples.

On its face, any Federal law that involves married couples have a basic legal impediment, in that they’re predicated on an institution (marriage) that is adjudicated entirely under state law.
