Harry (and other like-thinking liberals) just don't get it. Harry says,
"If she can't do her job as a public official because of her religious
beliefs, then she should resign and make way for the appointment or
election of country clerk who will obey the law and not hide behind some
made up religious bull****"

So, what law is she not obeying? Her state's Constitution defines
marriage as being "one man, one woman". Seems to me that she is obeying
*that* law.

Personally, I don't give a rat's ass if gay couples get married. I am
neither "for it" or "against it". My issue with this particular
circumstance is having a federal judge toss her in jail because she was
following the existing law of her state, regardless of her personal
religious views.


The issue is more fundamental, There is no state law anymore.
