I’ve abandoned nothing.
Was the SCOTUS correct in their ruling? - No. Should have been 9-0 the other way.
Was Mrs. Davis correct in following Kentucky law? - No. The law of Kentucky has become null and void. There is no law there for her to follow.
So WHY are you kicking her to the curb? - Because this Baptist doesn’t like government officials imposing their religious views on me and others contrary to the law.
County clerks issue things based on the LAW, not their convictions. They are not, in any way, giving their personal approval to anything by issuing a license. They merely confirm that X conforms with the law. Period. Nothing else.
Wake me up when the thousands of city officials who perpetuate “sanctuary cities” are held in contempt and thrown in the jug.
Until then, I spit on your “law.”
USSC in Obergefell held:
“The Court, in this decision, holds same-sex couples may exercise the fundamental right to marry in all States. It follows that the Court also must hold - and it now does hold - that there is no lawful basis for a State to refuse to recognize a lawful same-sex marriage performed in another State on the ground of its same-sex character.”
For the moment I will stipulate to this part: “there is no lawful basis for a State to refuse to recognize a lawful same-sex marriage performed in another State on the ground of its same-sex character”
Here is the error:
“The Court, in this decision, holds same-sex couples may exercise the fundamental right to marry in all States.”
This commandeers the legislative process of the States. There is no fundamental right to legal recognition of any grouping of persons assembled for whatever purpose.
Judges are not Legislators.
The government is imposing its' religious beliefs on you! Its' called secular humanism and it is a religion.
