Quote:And you don't have to marry interracial couples.
This may blow your mind but probably in the boondocks there are many pastors who share the same sentiment. It's how they feel.
Pastors are not government officials

Quote:Except I'm not a Pastor in this scenario. I'm a court clerk, and I'm not allowing my employees to issue marriage certificates to interracial couples.
Quote:All this proves is that civil liberties trumps Religious freedom.Literally zero of your religious rights are being violated. This idea that not being able to discriminate is a violation of your rights is about as insane was lobbying for a theocracy...
It's okay for me to have my religious rights be violated to 'respect' or appease others.
Quote:It's very possible that resigning is the only viable option for Kim Davis. I think Kim Davis should speak to as many highly qualified attorneys as possible though.It should have been her only option from the beginning. She will not do her job. She ought resign but then some presidential candidates and religious zealots won't have their martyr so here we are.
Quote:Kentucky clerk who denied gay marriage licenses released from jail
Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk locked up for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, was released from jail on Tuesday -- as her case also drew the personal attention of two presidential candidates.

Quote:You really don't get the 1st amendment do you?Refusing to do your job you were elected to do while swearing to uphold the letter of the law is not a first amendments issue. Based on your limited postings it's not surprising this is lost on you.

Quote:As far as I'm concerned, these are the facts as I understand them.Her attorney has said that she will not follow that condition. Clown shoes.
Kim Davis was refusing to issue, or allow those on her staff to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples based on her religious point of view.
She was taken to court and ordered by a Federal Judge to issue marriage licenses to couples that are eligible to receive said license as required by law
. She once again refused citing her personal religious belief, so she was sent to jail for Contempt of Court (refusing a lawful order by a Federal Judge)
.
She has now been released under the condition that she does not interfere with the duties of her office, or those deputies serving under her. If she does, then she will once again be guilty of Contempt of Court, and faces going back to jail.
This has nothing to do with religious freedom and everything to do with the Rule of Law.
Quote: I'm taking a wait and see approach and support Kim Davis if she doesn't do what's considered her job. But there's no question that she might have to resign. If Kim Davis decides to resign, I expect to support her decision.Just to be clear. You support her violating the law and the candidates that support her violating the law.
Being that Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee have been my top two choices in the 2016 Presidential Election, that's certainly not going to change based on the Kim Davis developments.
