“Davis violated their constitutional right to marry”
Ya? And where is that in the constitution?
This is STILL going on? They won’t let that poor woman alone?
And yet Lois Lerner faced no consequence…
Kentucky’s state constitution defines marriage as being between a man and a woman. Marriage is not mentioned in the U.S. constitution.
The Supreme Court can declare state law unconstitutional, but it can’t legislate new law to replace what it declared unconstitutional.
As I recall, Kentucky did not change their law or Constitutional definition of marriage at the time as a result of the Supreme Court decision.
I don’t see how Kim Davis had legal authority to issue a marriage license to anyone at all.
The whole imbroglio did elect an otherwise unpalatable Republican Goobernor.
Police have “qualified immunity” to violate the First Amendment and several others, but a court clerk has no immunity to refuse to grant a license not authorized by statute? We’ve gone down the rabbit hole.
