Clerks In Kentucky Refusing To Obey Supreme Court Marriage Mandate
Read Time:1 Minute, 6 Second
Jesus is at it again, as clerks in at least five Kentucky counties are refusing to grant marriage licenses to gay and heterosexual couples, citing their beliefs that marriage is between a man and a woman, despite what the Bible actually says.
“I have always tried to be fair to everyone and treat everyone the same,” a clerk tells the Courier-Journal. “If I can’t do it for one, I can’t for the other. I respect their position—the gay community’s—that that is how they want to live … but I would ask for for the same respect for my decision.”
Another Jesus fan said: “Marriage is ordained by God to be a man and a woman.”
Legal experts say they are likely to be sued.
Says one of the lawyers for the Kentucky plaintiffs in last week’s Supreme Court ruling: “Personal disapproval, whatever the reason, has never relieved a clerk from performing the duties of her office, and it shouldn’t now.”
The clerks’ decision comes after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said clerks could deny licenses to gay couples, an assertion presidential hopeful Ted Cruz has since backed up. Cruz tells NPR that states not named in the Supreme Court ruling—only Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Tennessee are mentioned—don’t need to abide by the ruling. Ted Cruz is an idiot.

The same thing is happening in Alabama and Mississippi Mike. I wish the court would find them in contempt and arrest them. A little time in a federal lock up would end this nonsense.
I hope they are sued and ruined. I wouldn’t mind if they sent in the National Guard the way Eisenhower did to force the godbabblers to obey the law. Funny how these righteous men aren’t willing to put their paychecks where their mouths are and just quit. Frankly I suspect that most of them don’t give a damn and will just do their jobs. The ones with the big mouths are probably being subsidized by the GOP.
