Supreme Court says Kentucky clerk can't deny same-sex marriage licenses

[h=1]Supreme Court says Kentucky clerk can't deny same-sex marriage licenses[/h]
WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court refused Monday to let a Kentucky county clerk deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples because of what she said were her religious beliefs.The ruling, made without comment or any apparent dissents, is an early indication that while some push-back against gay marriage on religious grounds may be upheld, the justices won't tolerate it from public officials.In one of the first tests of the court's June 26 decision upholding the rights of gays and lesbians to marry, Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis had argued that her Christian faith prevented her from recognizing such marriages.Rather than deny only same-sex couples, which the high court had said would be unconstitutional, she chose to stop issuing marriage licenses altogether -- and was sued by same-sex and opposite-sex couples.

The high court's ruling doesn't end Davis' challenge, still pending at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit -- the same appellate court that previously allowed Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee to block same-sex marriage before being overruled by the Supreme Court. But it means that in the meantime, her office must issue marriage licenses.

LMAO not that this is any surprise because nobody honest and objective actually bought her dishonest claims but I'm glad and find it funny they denied her. That's what happens when there's no real precedence for her to be crying about.

Reading these articles it seems the have began the steps to remove her and she could be facing fines and jail time for official misconduct. I hope she gets both.!

Supreme Court Rules Against Clerk in Gay Marriage Case - ABC News
Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis will have to choose whether to issue marriage licenses, defying her Christian conviction, or continue to refuse them, defying a federal judge who could pummel her with fines or order that she be hauled off to jail.

Meanwhile, a couple that had been turned away went to Rowan County Attorney Cecil Watkins to ask that she be charged with official misconduct, a misdemeanor defined by state law as a public official who "refrains from performing a duty imposed upon him by law or clearly inherent in the nature of his office." The crime is punishable by up to a year in jail.

Niiiice, I try to stay on top of equal rights issues. I belong to a couple local groups and it just makes me proud that I get to see these wrongs get righted in my life time. I thought foe sure Id never see it that maybe my daughter would live to see it but thats all changed now. Equal rights and the constitution is on a roll now. Im guessing sexual orientation will be nationally protected in two years max. (employment, education, health, housing and finance)

"LMAO not that this is any surprise because nobody honest and objective actually bought her dishonest claims but I'm glad and find it funny they denied her."

Why does the fact that her appeal went against her mean that she was being dishonest. I truly believe that she was being honest in her beliefs and it is wrong for your to accuse her otherwise. She was wrong that her beliefs should take precedent over her role in a public position, but that doesn't make her dishonest.

Re: Supreme Court says Kentucky clerk can't deny same-sex marriage licenses

This clerk is about a hundred miles from me so this is actually local news and all over the place, has been for quite some time. Myself, I have been waiting and hoping for her termination of employment or even better her resignation. If she truly were as devout as she claims she would "Quit for Jesus" and be celebrated by her congregation and peers as a martyr. If she were fired even more so....as it is she will probably submit and prove she has very weak faith and very strong hate

She's an elected official, so she can't be fired. She can be jailed for contempt though or charged with dereliction of her official duties.
 
Re: Supreme Court says Kentucky clerk can't deny same-sex marriage licenses

I think SSM is good for the legal systom because this is weeding out people who can't separate church from state.
 
Re: Supreme Court says Kentucky clerk can't deny same-sex marriage licenses

If jailed or found in dereliction of duty...she can easily be removed from office(fired).

That's because the OP believes he is the arbiter of objectivity and truth and anyone who disagrees with his position on this issue is a subjective, dishonest bigot.

1.)Why does the fact that her appeal went against her mean that she was being dishonest.

3.) and it is wrong for your to accuse her otherwise.

1.) never claimed that, please dont makes stuff up. Never even hinted that the "loss" makes her dishonest LOL

her appeal is dishonest because she has done non-religious marriages, remarriages, other religious marriages and she herself has been married 4 times. SO based on her OWN claims she is a hypocrite and dishonest unless of course some how she can honestly, logically and convenience claim that ONLY the gay marriage is against her religious "claims"

2.) you are free to believe that but its illogical based on her own words and actions
3.) nope this is just more baseless and illogical opinion of yours. Based on her words and actions its VERY logically to say she is dishonest.
4.) 100% correct
5.) also correct good thing thats not what makes her dishonest, her words and actions do.

100% false and a posted lie.

are you claiming its logical for her stance to be honest while she did the following:

issued licenses to NON-religious marriages
issued licenses to re-marriages
issued licenses to inter-religious marriages
issued licenses to religions different than her own
and she herself has been married four times

yeah Id say its VERY logical and theres quite a bit of evidence that leads to the idea that she is dishonest, if not then she is even a bigger mentally retarded moron than I thought LMAO

unless of course you know what religious logic she is useing where her "claimed participation" is ok in the list above but not them GAYS getting married.

Which religion allows all those things above and the worship of a false god but NOT equal rights for them gays :lamo
Please this lady is dishonest and bat **** crazy or just double bat **** crazy :D

I quoted you accurately and I expressed my judgment of the situation and your opinion of it. I choose not to be the arbiter of her beliefs and see nothing that she has done as being unfaithful to her own beliefs, even as wrong in this case as she is. Your basis require that you interpret her beliefs and compare/contrast them to your interpretation of her faith. That is the real issue of faith, you don't know how to deal with it, I accept that people have a range of beliefs and don't necessarily conform to your imposition of your belief on them. Again, this case is about an elected official imposing her beliefs on the operations of the state. Go ahead an jolly stomp her all you like, but I'll not participate wrong headed attempt to interpret her beliefs.

It is apparent to me that reading comprehension is not your forte.

When your read something in parenthesis (like this), it is intended to be an addition and often complimentary aspect of the aforementioned commentary.
