Several Kentucky county clerks defy same-sex marriage ruling.

[Michael Corleone]

Obviously, but we are crossing a fine line when we get in to our local officials making calls based upon their Christian beliefs, which is what one of the Clerk's quoted. They are not balking at this because Kentucky voters turned down gay marriage.

 

I'm no government expert by any stretch but what is the point of states even passing laws at this point?

[Michael Corleone]

Is there a difference between the clerks rejecting issuing a license to a citizen, and a clerk rejecting a black from registering to vote in the not too distant past?

 

People don't choose to be black. Does that make a difference? Just asking.

It's a good angle. But, a clerk is a servant of all the citizenry, not just those they agree with.

[TheDeuce]

Good ole backwards Kentucky. Keep living up to the sterotypes.

State's rights apparently.

 

Look, it does suck on a pro-Democracy level that one may feel their voice is not reflected in the decision of the high court of the land, but that is the way this thing is structured.

I get it. But in Texas the state is telling the clerks to do what they wish. What JJ is saying is something that I think needs to be watched. Contrary to popular belief this is not a popular decision across the country.

Is Texas backwards?

[TheDeuce]

Is Texas backwards?

 

If they are doing something similar, yes.

[Michael Corleone]

Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Virginia, Utah. Also backwards

Oh, trust me, I know it is not. :lol2:

If you don't agree you are close minded, backwards bigots.

There are going to be alot of people do this in America. Wait and see. History repeats itself. When the government starts over turning what the people vote down there will be problems. Thats why there is a United States of America. 9/10 people I have talked to today agree with the clerks.

 

When peoples votes no longer matter then its time to do something else.

 

I would say 7 out of 10 people I talk to disagree with the clerks and agree with the Supreme Court. Then again, I talk to a lot of younger people and more free thinkers.

Not in all cases, but many.

Same.

I haven't spoken to anyone, but I have a hard time thinking 90% of the people I would encounter would feel that way.
