Your turn Obama.
Anything you do will just piss off the silent majority more.
They may have the “right” but there is no requirement that the local government must issue marriage licenses.
Reminds me of my calculus professor many years ago. He dressed very sloppy; his suit looked like he slept in it and his tie was always over his shoulder). He caught a female student mocking his sartorial disarray. His response was classic: “Deary (he called all females “deary” and males “son”), the university says I must wear a suit. They didn’t tell me HOW to wear the suit.”
The court has made their decision.
Now let them go and pass out the “gay marriage licenses”.
On another thread someone mentioned that this clerk is a DEMOCRAT.
Anyone know for sure, have a source?
In a free country you can’t force anyone to do anything. And even if she took an oath of office she took the oath to uphold the laws as they were the day she was elected. New laws that go against your religious beliefs do not have to be honored. If her constituents don’t like it they can put her out come election time.
Godspeed, Ms. Davis
Traditional Marriage now has a martyr. You are now the face of the resistance.
This is one very courageous person. Prayers go with you. I would like to think that I could have done the same in the same situation but I doubt it.
Kim is setting an outstanding example for county clerks and other public administrators throughout the land. When ungodly, unconstitutional rulings are handed down from the godless rulers on high, the people charged with enforcing and executing their destructive edicts need to stand in defiance. Kudos to Kim Davis as she makes a principled stand against the evil, corrupt leaders of this country. May God bless Kim Davis.
History shows the omnipotent state can destroy any one individual. However, when hundreds of thousands of citizens concurrently stand against the state and refuse to yield to its oppression, the state collapses. Gandhi and Martin Luther King both understood this concept and used it to their advantage.
The problem with demonstrations of disobedience is the first actors, such as this woman, will face punishment. She will ultimately lose her job because her superiors in the bureaucracy are totally invested in the system and will destroy her to preserve their positions. If 30 state governors, and 40% of Congressmen/women, were telling the Supreme Court they refused to obey the gay marriage ruling (or any other ruling for that matter), we would be in a very different place than having a handful of individuals standing tall.
Rosa Parks refusing to go to the back of the bus was a tipping point. The question is, have we reached a tipping point where thousands of citizens will stand with this woman or will we return to mindlessly watching cable TV?
If we look at the behavior of the American people today, it seems more are standing with the “Black Lives Matter” crowd than with the pro life or male/female marriage crowds.
People put their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor at risk when they really care about an issue or tyranny. While many claim to oppose tyranny, few actually stand up to be counted. Hence the appeal of Trump as well as the scorn being heaped upon him. If only the same people cheering Trump on in safety, would put their lives, jobs, money, and honor on the line to support Christianity and traditional values.
Every clerk and deputy, in addition to the oath prescribed by Section 228 of the Constitution, shall, before entering on the duties of his office, take the following oath in presence of the Circuit Court: “I, ....., do swear that I will well and truly discharge the duties of the office of .............. County Circuit Court clerk, according to the best of my skill and judgment, making the due entries and records of all orders, judgments, decrees, opinions and proceedings of the court, and carefully filing and preserving in my office all books and papers which come to my possession by virtue of my office; and that I will not knowingly or willingly commit any malfeasance of office, and will faithfully execute the duties of my office without favor, affection or partiality, so help me God.” The fact that the oath has been administered shall be entered on the record of the Circuit Court.
Davis vs Goliath
Were all three same sex couples getting married together into a sextuplet?
Why not?
Now is when we'll find out if religious convictions, that were once the norm of the land, will be trampled upon and used as fuel to start jailing Christians.
The USA has now become Nazi Germany, circa 1935-8.
(Just wondering.)
Apparently, she isn’t even issuing licenses to heterosexual couples. I hope that they’re not trying to make her come into the office.
I am in awe of this woman standing up to the tyranny of the 2%.
If Kim Davis has the courage to stand her ground and she ends up in jail then the world sees the mockery that the US Justice System has become. The Power Elite, Hillary and Bill Clinton, Planned Parenthood, and others, can violate laws and merely snub their noses at the rest of us.. They are so adept at working around the laws that, I am sure, the work around is woven into the game plan from the onset.
Good for them. When they get called on the carpet for it, they need to just point out that they’re following the example of the “sanctuary cities” for illegal aliens, which defy the federal law.
Someone please help me here. Where in the U.S. Constitution is the “gay marriage” right? Where is the legislation written by congress and signed into law by a president? There is no gay marriage law. Same as Roe v Wade. Where is the legislation written by congress and signed into law by a president? There is no pro-abort law. These are “rulings” by the court. Rulings are not law, are they?
