Now, bow before us Blackrobes and your King."

Seems to me her religious conscience stance would be the same no matter if congress changed DOMA or KY’s legislature or voting majority changed the law to accept ‘gay marriage.’ Otherwise, why isn’t she making this argument?

It is well established that SCOTUS has the power to decide a law is invalid, thus unenforceable and void.
I agree that Davis is the only one following the law.
SCOTUS, for all practical purposes (exact legal reasoning escapes me as IANAL & blathering on a chat board) voided KY marriage law by eviscerating the legal definition of “marriage”. As such, KY has no “marriage” law, and the KY legislature has not suitably replaced it.
THERE IS NO KY “MARRIAGE” LAW FOR DAVIS TO ACT ON.
It doesn’t mater Trump declared she broke the law and should be jailed. That is all there is to it.
If a doctor works for a government agency, can they be compelled to perform an abortion?
The way things got this way was indeed the “meek acceptance” of the idea that since if things percolated through the courts in the normal way, the same kind of individual decision would be reached over and over once the high court decided it in one instance, one might as well treat it as though law had been altered.
The present situation shows afresh how ridiculous that can get. “Legalization” of pre birth infanticide (aka abortion) was bad enough, but that could be hidden behind grimy walls. This new abomination has a harder time hiding.
There ought to even be judicial “civil disobedience” here. Force the USSC to keep on scolding at individual cases. There is nothing in the Constitution that says this would be wrong.
Great article and the only point worth mentioning. Yet Huckabee and Trump either skirt this issue, say “the law is the law” or don’t mention it at all. Huckabee is working on garnering up support for Davis, and supports her decision, but I have yet to hear him refer to this simple truth.
There isn’t even the attempt to force the High and Mighty Court to say exactly HOW their edict must be carried out, if indeed it must. The situation now is Calvinball. If you take your opponent’s flag do you have to sing the sorry song or do you have to go to jail or what? It’s all Calvinball. That sure doesn’t look even like “rule of law” at all. It is “rule of judges.” What’s old is new again and it isn’t any prettier than it was the first time.
"They're" not going to give reason for a nation of Christian soldiers to march on Kentucky
Who is the they, and why should the army be wanting their reason anyhow?
Easy on Donald.
He doesn't always get things right the first time.
Why WOULDN'T Christians want to mobilize ?
It will only end when a state decided enough and dares the feds to send in armed troops to enforce the left wing progressive rulings and EOs.
The SC, in their attempts to legislate from the bench, have essentially made state officials criminals retroactively, merely by holding an office, and abiding by state law.
This is a legal shitstorm of epic proportions. This is a battle of states rights vs. federal SC overreach.
The people of Kentucky voted overwhelmingly to keep this from happening, and a group of unelected federal judges decided to throw their weight around and FORCED the states to accept their decision.
Well, you know what? the black robed tyrants made their decision, and the answer from the states, and their voters should be: try to enforce it!
The states ARE the union, and the states, and ultimately the people, call the shots.
If the feds can't wrap their heads around that, then they should just leave, and take up a different line of work somewhere else in the world, because that shit doesn't fly here in the USA.
I believe they are; the angels are in the details of how.
Beginning to take a personal salvation by the Lord seriously is an excellent start. Christians trying to stand on things like morals or principles, without any clear grasp of what (or rather Whom) those morals and principles are about, are probably going to only succeed in looking like garden variety reactionaries. God is a pro-active entity.
The homos are hoping that if it happens it will be a replay of the black civil rights issue, forgetting that in the faith that launched America and still stubbornly smolders in the shadows waiting a fresh breath of spiritual oxygen, there was no command to discriminate by color when there was a command to discriminate by conduct.
What’s this “without bail” crapola? Is she a flight risk?
Sometimes it is hard to distinguish sarcasm around here
