Or a muslim and refuse to defend America.
Yeah I noticed they didn’t use any examples involving muslims, who seem to be the most vocal these days regarding religious objections.
If the inaction supports a progressive idea, you can be sure that the MSM will have no issue with it. Just don't expect the support of the MSM if the inaction supports a conservative idea.
How about Prinz, where the Supreme Court found that the federal government cannot compel states to spend money on federal requirements?
My religion is very dear to me. I would have to decide what kind of job it is, what would I have to do, if I couldn’t do the job because I would feel it was against my religion, then I wouldn’t take the job...
If I had a job and it enacted a new rule that I had to do, and my religion went against it, I would quit and find another job...
Personally, I think there should be options for people who have new conditions imposed on their jobs. If the country wants to marry gays, either find some other way to do it or back off because that was not the law when she took the job.
So based on this, she will likely be given some reasonable accomomation, such as having a deputy in her office handle the gay paperwork.
Or, a Muslim flight attendant.
The County Clerk normally certifies marriage licenses by affixing her name to the license as authority.
Why? the deputy simply carries out what she is assigned to do and delegates for having too much to do in the time allotted. Having a deputy handle the paperwork is legally & morally indistinguishable from her doing it herself.
Like for instance when worship of Obama prevents journalists from doing their job?
What is normal does not apply anymore. How we used to do things does not work anymore since marriage has been re-defined.
Good article. It clearly defines the legal issues involved without advocating, although it does suggest legal solutions.
In most business circumstances there is no so such thing as “legal to not do your job”. You agree to work and your employer agree to pay you. If you don’t like the work for some reason you can reach an accommodation with your employer or quit. He can agree to accommodate you or fire you. Either way is “not illegal” except formsomemgovernment defined protections.
The stewardess and the clerk are two completely different cases. The stewardess should be SOL. I should be entirely up to her employer. The clerks case is not a contract between two private parties.
As I understand it that's not her position. As long as her name isn't on the document she has no problem letting her subordinates issue them.
but wasn’t acting as a representative of the church —
She IS the Church.
Did you read the article? What should be, and what are currently the law are two different things.
because based on the other cases cited in the article, that would seem to be a a reasonable accommodation.
In that sense you’re right.
Let’s ask the Muslims.
