In other news, Rowan County Kentucky Clerk of the Court, Kim Davis, has been ordered to jail for failure to issue marriage licenses as ordered by the court, and was told she'll remain there until she complies with the ruling.   :yes:

She needs to resign if she can't fulfill the duties for her elected duties.

She does need to resign. The governor will not call a special session of the state legislators due to this being a cost to taxpayers. She is no authority on marriage as she has been married (4) times and had twins by her third husband while married to her first husband. She gives the rest of us Kentuckians a bad name. 120 counties in Kentucky and 117 are issuing licenses with no problems.

Are you talking about me???  :spooked: Naw, I'm with you guys on this.  She signed up for the job.  It is the LAW.  Nothing here to argue about as far as I am concerned.  :no:

That she is. I am sure when she became an authority on marriage after all that. But she is of the adage that the slate is wiped clean all the time when one has sinned. LOL. I guess her idea of a slate being wiped clean and mine are totally different!
My father and I were having a discussion about this, not so long ago. He is 87, health is not great and has always considered him a religious man but he said it wasn't no one's place to decide if a man and a man should marry or a woman and a woman. I was surprised and shocked to hear him say that because I have always had the adage that I didn't care but never said a word to him. If he can feel this way, why can't others?

LMAO!

NOW you're talking out of the other side of your mouth.

Here's what you were saying previously when it concerned the stupid Indiana legislation:

Indiana's Religious Freedom Legislation

Quote from: Henry Hawk on April 17, 2015, 07:22:11 PM
Wow!  We are still on two different wave lengths.....NOBODY CAN DISCRIMINATE!!!!!!!!

But we all have our rights to not participate, even business owners, in anything that goes against their sincere belief.  Nobody has yet to turn away someone from their business strictly because they didn't like them......THAT is discrimination......why is this hard to follow?

Just as in the stupid Kim Davis crap, when it comes to public accommodation, your personal beliefs have to be left at home.

The big difference in my opinion....she is elected to do a job.  Part of that job is to issue marriage license.

In a private business.......people should have that right to practice their own religious beliefs.  If a person doesn't like it, they can go to another business.  In this case, there is no other business....Kim Davis IS the elected person to do a particular job.

She needs to resign if she doesn't believe it to be right....THAT is part of her job.

I'm sick of everybody trying to defend her.  It black and white.  She is wrong. 

I do not see this as any attack against Christianity.  In the case of the Pizza joint.....it WAS an attack on Christianity.

Two completely different scenarios.

NOPE!

That's your problem, you want to claim apples and oranges when it all apples.

Public is the legal keystone here - public accommodation - everyone has the right to be treated equally when it comes to public accommodation. 

Kim Davis is required to accommodate the public just like anyone in business is required to do.  No one forces anyone to become a public entity and open a business to the public - which then requires public accommodation.  You can stay private keep all your lil' private hatreds, prejudices, superstitions, and authoritarian personality traits to yourself - which is exactly what you have to do if you open a business or enter elected office etc..

When you attempt to insert your peccadilloes into public accommodation you are deliberately forcing them on others - being an authoritarian.

Henry Hawk, is he justified in not doing his job?
