Kentucky Clerk Is Jailed For Refusal to Issue Marriage Licenses As A Result Of Her Religious Beliefs

#37

Quote:I'm all for pushing back against federal oversight but that's not what's happening here. A single individual is looking for an exemption to execute the duties of their office based on personnel religious beliefs. It's been made clear now that states do not have the right to refuse homosexual unions just like they can't refuse interracial unions. If she's allowed to enforce a religious exemption then what's to stop someone else from refusing interracial unions based on their religion? Or an atheist from refusing religious unions based on their belief system?


Regardless of anyone's beliefs the law has to be universally written and enforced or screw it lets just go with anarchy. But that's my problem with the right they want legislation but only when it benefits their specific beliefs. This isn't about states rights it's about a government employee refusing to execute the duties of their office.


I knew it, you want anarchy you are just great at wrapping it in a package of liberty.


Jk. Well said
