Carly Fiorina: “I very much hope that we would come to a place now in this nation where we can support their (the SCOTUS) decision and at the same time support people to have, to hold religious views and to protect their right to exercise those views.”
Am I reading this wrong? It sounds like she believes the SCOTUS is going to force homosexual marriage on the nation. Otherwise, why would we need to support religious views “at the same time?” She’s also clearly in the tank for the black robed legislators. A law abiding, moral person would (truthfully) say the US Constitution does not give homosexuals the right to marry any more than it gave women to vote UNTIL it was amended.
Any justice who votes to impose homosexual marriage on all the states is essentially a law breaker. They are breaking the supreme law of the land. Try as they might, homosexual marriage is simply not in the supreme contract between We the People and the federal government.
An honest person (and justice) would uphold the law. If the homosexualists don’t like it, they have the same legal, moral recourse as anyone else who wants to change the US Constitution. They can try to amend it.
If Supreme Court provokes Islam...
She should stick to attacking Hitlery.
well as soon as he makes the Big Announcement that hes going to be the first bush to run as a Democrat.... perhaps he can ask carly if she wants to join him on THAT ticket?
“If Nebuchadnezzar rules for worshiping the image, we should support his decision”
I agree that we should enact legislation to protect churches, just in case, but I don't think that's ever going to happen. There are plenty of types of weddings that are legal, but taht many churches and synagogues refuse to conduct, based on religious tenets (inter-faith, marriages of previously-married/divorced people, etc.). Even a Supreme Court that would overturn state marriage laws to allow for same-sex marriage would not force churches to conduct such marriages.
Damnation, way to shoot the foot in the face of the base.
We have religious freedom guaranteed by the Constitution. There is no need for a constitutional amendment.
And for churches, well, in a few more years it really won’t matter:
Christianity faces sharp decline as Americans are becoming even less affiliated with religion
NO!
NAY!
NEVER!
“Even a Supreme Court that would overturn state marriage laws to allow for same-sex marriage would not force churches to conduct such marriages. “
Sure, our noble government would never “force” churches to perform gay weddings, they would prefer to bankrupt them with the removal of tax-exempt status.
she is disqualifying herself.
Social conservative she apparently is not.
She just ended her campaign.
So Carly’s a democrat
“We have religious freedom guaranteed by the Constitution. There is no need for a constitutional amendment.”
I’m sure Aaron and Melissa Klein, the Oregon bakers facing a $135,000.00 fine for their religious convictions will be happy to hear about that.
Obama has said many times that Americans are free to worship as we choose. That’s an important turn of phrase. I question whether he and his minions believe that we are free to practice our religions in our daily lives, as opposed to just on Sunday at 9 am.
This won’t be about government “forcing” anyone to do anything. Corporate taxes, property taxes and loss of deductibility of donations will take care of that. Besides many so-called Christian churches will be more than happy to disregard those two thousand year old letters and marry whoever the government says they should.
This is what happens when you have a “big tent”—midgets, pachyderm KP and clowns sneak in, and then think they can play ringmaster. Put Carly back to work on elephant clean-up.
Conservative Party!
Carly can go home now.
Homosexuals are in the process of pulling off the biggest anti-American scam in history.
Feel the nuance.
Another so-called “moderate” Republican attempting to take both sides of an issue.
Another masterpiece!
