So let's discriminate against others. Perfect solution.

 That's not how I see it but to each his/ her own.

Not sure people understand the historical pretext of the 1st amendment. And it's quite clear from historical documents that "separation of church and state" currently means exactly opposite of what it originally meant.


Also from Jeffersons own words "Power to prescribe any religious excercise must rest with the States". But what's truly amazing in Records from 1789 clearly show never were the words mentioned of Seperation of Church and State.

All this proves is that civil liberties trumps Religious freedom.


It's okay for me to have my religious rights be violated to 'respect' or appease others.

She can't be fired so why resign? What is happening is exactly what she wants.

 

She will be impeached in a few months and then she will get her book deal, probably a documentary by Dinesh D'Souza, go on the right wing talk show circuit. Maybe even get her own show on Fox.

She is an elected Democrat.


When the narrative doesn't fit your labels? Now what?

Yeah, it's so unfair.  I can't go get elected as a county clerk and refuse to give black people marriage licenses.  Or interracial couples.  Because it goes against my beliefs.  I have to go against them to 'respect' or appease others.

I was wrong about Trent Baalke.

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.

What standard religion holds those as tentets of their faith?

How does playing the race card applies to having your religious beliefs be violated?

In this scenario, it's against my religious beliefs that black people get married.  Especially to a white person.

Christianity until recently.


Besides, why only give standard religions their rights?  Don't all religions deserve the same rights?  Or just the most popular ones?


Regardless.  Does this mean we can have Sharia Law now?

Not sure Book of Mormon, Quran, Bible or any other faith documents have disallowed blacks from marrying.


Also standard means established we can't run of and create a church o cannabis to appease the law.


I am not even a fan of Kim. But I do think this country has bastardized the 1st amendment and we have plent of historical text from our founders that prove it. It is now the complete opposite of its intent.

Why not?  If it's a sincerely held belief, why can't we?  Why do 'established' religions get preference?  All that should matter is that it's a sincerely held belief.

Cause that's not Religion.


I wouldn't do it but I get why she is doing it. Quite frankly the people need to fix the problem. Do not elect people who won't fulfill their duties.

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.

The Judge told her if she interferes she'll go to prison.  At this point she just wants to be a martyr for her cause.  Of course reasonable people will see that she's no martyr, and that she's putting herself in jail by not following the court order to not interfere with other clerks doing their job.  She doesn't need a lawyer.  A little common sense would go a long way.

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.
