I wonder how many of those supporting Kentucky clerk Kim Davis's refusal

It should be noted that she is not issuing ANY marriage licenses.



Willful nonfeasance by a public official. I hope the federal judge
throws the book at her. These efforts of bat**** crazy "religious" folks
to turn this country into an ayatollahville need to be stopped.

I suppose the question is whether a marriage license is a
constitutionally mandated service from a local government.
Marriage is a religious ceremony, not a listed constitutional right.
It is just a government overreach that put them together in the first
place..
Usually when the government starts getting into religious dogma you
are opposed to it.
They simply got out of the marriage business. Good for them.

As I believe you have pointed out before, the gov shouldn't even be in the marriage business. To them, marriage is just a contract that two folks enter into, and when they do, a set of laws govern how the parties interact. Leave it at that, problem solved. Want to be "married"? Find a church that will do it in the eyes of God. Why can't someone in DC figure that out?
