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. So the poor woman was in contempt of court for not ceasing to do what she wasn't doing, which wasn't in violation of any known law. I wonder if the judge is gay? He certainly is prejudiced and biased toward giving those sweet little gay people anything they demand. And, of course, Harry thinks that's just peachy keen. Harry is 'special' you know. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |
