The state of Kentucky amended the Kentucky Constitution in 2004 with the following regarding marriages: "Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Kentucky. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized." The amendment was approved by 75 percent of the voters. The SCOTUS didn't write a new law that supersedes the Kentucky law. All it did was confirm that discrimination of same sex marriage couples was unconstitutional. Kim Davis didn't discriminate. She found herself in a dilemma. Not only was it against her religious beliefs, to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples is currently in violation of the Kentucky State Constitution. So, what did she do? She stopped issuing marriage licenses period. No licenses for gay couples. No licenses for heterosexual couples. No discrimination. So what does a federal judge do? Holds her in contempt and throws her in jail. For what? |

It is interesting that the left is not willing to extend the full faith and credit of concealed carry rights across state lines.. Oh? Is there a federal regulation that allows concealed carry rights across state lines? Is there a federal regulation on marriage? Not since DOMA was tossed. Next? Specious. Until you cite the federal law that even acknowledges gay marriage, you have no ground to stand on. The 14th amendment and the full faith and credit clause are saying any state law should be honored in all states. All the SCOTUS has done is say a law banning gay marriage is invalid, they have not written the new law. By striking down laws against gay marriage, the Supreme Court has expanded the interpretation of existing law. That's what the high court does...it interprets, it affirms, it strikes down. In Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, the high court overturned Plessy v. Ferguson and struck down the concept of "separate but equal." It didn't write a new law. You righties seem to overlook the indisputable fact that the Kentucky clerk was using her governmental office and thus the government to push her religious beliefs. Only because that is how she framed it. It would have been a lot smarter... The incident did not revolve around hypotheticals...and she ain't smart. She used her religious beliefs and her political office to deny civil rights to citizens. That's the issue. The court, in its wisdom, said, "No, you don't." It is not hypothetical that the SCOTUS has ruled the Kentucky law unconstitutional and it will be unclear whether any license issued after that ruling is legal. Ms Davis just did not take that path when she stopped issuing licenses. Since nobody could get a license, it was not discriminating against any particular group. The only reason why this is a religious issue is because she made it one. She had firm legal ground to stop issuing any license, at least as firm as any legal issue. Gosh, I had no idea you were also a constitutional scholar. Did the Supreme Court strike *all* laws a state might have pertaining to marriage, or just language that in some way prevented gays from marrying, as Virginia's laws once prevented couples of different races from marrying? If you read the statute in question and draw a line through the parts the SCOTUS threw out, it is not a statute anymore. The specifics are gone. Virtually every sentence has a reference to "one man and one woman". I am sure it was originally drafted that way on purpose by legislators who are usually lawyers. I'll wait for a scholarly legal ruling on that and of course what is and what is not a statute. Wrong! You NEVER wait for a scholarly legal ruling of anything. Your demented mind is pre-set on every subject. |
