GOP State Rep. Sends Letter To All Clerks: 'Ignore The Recent SCOTUS Opinion Redefining Marriage' A state lawmaker just sent a letter to every county clerk in Tennessee asking them to ignore the Supreme Court's ruling on marriage for same-sex couples. Tennessee state Rep. Rick Womick one week ago today sent all 95 county clerks a letter – on his House of Representatives, State of Tennessee letterhead, indicating it is an official document from the office of a state lawmaker – asking them to ignore last month's Supreme Court ruling on marriage for same-sex couples. "You did not take an oath to uphold an 'opinion' from five justices of the SCOTUS. Therefore, I am asking that each of you ignore the recent SCOTUS opinion redefining marriage, uphold our State Constitution, and issue marriage certificates to one man and one woman only," Womick's letter, below, reads. Rep. Womick writes that the state attorney general and governor's office contacted notified the clerks "to uphold the SCOTUS opinion or face a discrimination lawsuit. Such intimidation from this administration is unconstitutional and should not be tolerated. Each of you are publicly elected servants of your county, held accountable only to the people that elect you." Rep. Womick's legal reasoning is far from sound and should any clerk actually use his letter to defy the law they might run into some legal trouble of their own. Unsurprising, since **Womack is an original co-sponsor of Tennessee's HB 615, "Establishes the Bible as the Official State Book."** - - - Yet another reason why I never vote for Republican legislators...their religious-osity. |
