“The SCOTUS ruling that Kim Davis is not in compliance with is a violation of the natural law”
Natural law is a philosophy that certain rights or values are inherent by virtue of human nature, and universally cognizable through human reason.
Since when has the Supreme Court been granted the authority to create natural law?
They don't. Natural law is built into the human being from His Creator.
As St Paul said (Rom 2:14-15): For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature those things that are of the law; these having not the law are a law to themselves: Who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness to them, and their thoughts between themselves accusing, or also defending one another
As Jefferson, et al, stated:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
And there are plenty of other citations, from Cicero, to St Thomas Aquinas, to Blackstone, to many of the founding fathers, that are applicable to the subject of natural law (they have been posted multiple times since the Kim Davis issue came up, so I won't bother).
But consider this from Lincoln's First Inaugural Address:
I do not forget the position assumed by some, that constitutional questions are to be decided by the Supreme Court; nor do I deny that such decisions must be binding in any case, upon the parties to a suit; as to the object of that suit, while they are also entitled to very high respect and consideration in all parallel cases by all other departments of the government. And while it is obviously possible that such decision may be erroneous in any given case, still the evil effect following it, being limited to that particular case, with the chance that it may be over-ruled, and never become a precedent for other cases, can better be borne than could the evils of a different practice. At the same time, the candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the government upon vital questions, affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made, in ordinary litigation between parties, in personal actions, the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their government into the hands of that eminent tribunal. Nor is there in this view any assault upon the court or the judges. It is a duty from which they may not shrink, to decide cases properly brought before them; and it is no fault of theirs if others seek to turn their decisions to political purposes.
Never.
They have, however, had no qualms perverting the very Constitution they are sworn to uphold in order to create unnatural rulings that their twisted interpretations inflict upon us.

Seeing as how almost all government positions now are filled, to what extent we do not know, with gay community members, does anyone other than me wonder whether we have folks on the Supreme Court who are members of that community? If so, they should have recused themselves from any ruling on any gay issue because of possible personal bias? Just a thought. It is extremely serious when you have 9 unelected people change a centuries old cultural rule which goes straight to the heart of natural law in a very short period of time and is a ruling which slams Christianity while giving nothing, really, to the gay community because they already are civilly accepted to live their lives together exactly as they want. To many, it looks like a move to destroy Christianity rather than to grant gays what they already have. It was a very short time ago that sodomy was considered to be a crime and homosexuality was listed as a mental disorder. I would say they have come a long way but now, a line has been drawn and this is not going away soon. Look for more Christian persecution.
