, the former Kentucky county clerk who gained national attention five years ago when she cited her religious beliefs in refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples., two of the conservative justices said the 2015 ruling making same-sex marriage the law of the land amounted to a"cavalier treatment of religion." Davis"may have been one of the first victims" of the decision,"but she will not be the last," wrote Clarence Thomas for himself and Samuel Alito.
But lawyers for the gay couples said the issue was much more narrow — whether government officials have immunity when they act in a way that they know violates the law.
She should become a religious martyr or something fun like that, as a new career choice.
I wish the US Supreme Court would decide not to hear The Trump administration suit against ACA Nov 10. Following the care Trump tax evader just received as a gift from the American ppl, taking away protection for pre existing conditions seems tacky
End tax exempt status for all religious institutions.
Good.
Kim Davis divorced and remarried how many times? If she can bend religious rules to suit her personal needs then her belief system is not universal and not impact the lives of LGBTQ people.
A Karen & her religion. God can you help us all?
Then quit your job. Don’t put your beliefs on others! If it’s against your religious beliefs then quit!!!!!
Kills your narrative about the SC, no🤣🤣
This divorcée biyatch is not giving up. hypocrite
Do as the Romans do 👍
If her religious beliefs prevent her from doing her job according to the law--she can't be in that job. Period.
Mike Huckabee said he would support you with open arms. 'Whatever it takes, Kim'. I'm sure you can quarantine at the HuckabeeFunHouse
Kim Davis was married four times to three men. I understand her overriding concern here is about same sex marriage offending her personal religious beliefs. But given her own track record as a bride, it seems to me she is rather cavalier about the sanctity of marriage itself.
thebobbyb I know enough not to apply at Hobby Lobby or Papa John’s because I don’t like the sexist or racist history. She should probably get a job at one of those.
Her 15 minutes of fame was long gone. If you can’t keep your religion to yourself, stay out of public office because the world doesn’t revolve around you and your fables.
She's a joke like the republican party
Kim was married three times but refused to allow others to marry.
I don't normally argue for the left, but this woman needs to have an example made of her. She is ridiculous. She is obviously crazy. Law TRUMPS religion. That's why law includes religious exceptions.
When will these f'in people just go away and stop wasting taxpayer money trying to unwrite all the laws in this country? Most of the people think you're wrong and we live in a democracy. Deal with it. Spoiled little infants.
If her religious beliefs keep her from carrying out the job for which she is being paid, then she either needs to quit or be fired. Simple as that!
if you do something for a living that requires you to do something you don't agree with because of your personal choice of religion but it is completely legal, then don't do that for a living. i say this as a Christian... don't force your religion on others.
Oh boy. Whiny conservatives will be aghast...
Someone with those kind of views should not be in a government paying job! That would be the same as not issuing a marriage license to a biracial couple!
Twitter WON'T STOP HARASSING ME! Almost 100 times they've suspended my account & won't say why! They lock me out of my account & then refuse to accept my phone for a code to get back in! BECAUSE I SAID THE WORD SHIT, WHICH IS ALLOWED TO BE SAID ON TV! WHAT CAN I DO!
Is she crazy?
YOUR faith and beliefs don't overrule law.
Kim Davis needs Jesus.
Lol, she won’t do her job because she believes a higher power (who didn’t directly tell her anything and has no proof of its existence) is telling her she can’t let people be happy. People please wake up. Stop letting an imaginary god dictate the way we live our lives.
deray C*nt
Good
Nobody forced her to work in public office. She has the freedom to practice religion but not use it as a excuse to discriminate. My religion says I shall pay no tax but to God. Therefore I should not have to pay taxes based on religion 🙄
Nowhere in the constitution does it point to the Bible for reference. You cannot prove that book anymore true than any other religious text. Jesus doesn’t make the laws in America
Yes! Today hasn’t been too bad 🥰
Stop giving this dumbass coverage
You love to see it.
You can’t claim religious beliefs in your capacity as a government official. She, like the folks who traveled far and wide looking for a homophobic baker, are just crazy!
william_pitts Separation of Church and State...AND, ALL THAT!
Omg this bitch is still alive!?🤦🏽♀️
deray I thought we were done with lady!
Tbh people who are super bias should work in any gov job or any public work period. If she really wants to enforce her beliefs on someone she can work on a private religious job. Simple.
deray That’s BS
If she'd refused to issue marriage licenses to divorced people, I might take her claims that she acted out of religious conviction seriously. 'What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.' (Matthew 19:6)
MeetThePress She's so pissed, she can't see straight. Oh sorry, I meant to say 'Forget this cross eyed hag'.
Why?If you're not going to Obey the Bible,why do you call Yourselves Christians and say Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. According to Scriptures, Homosexuality is Wrong. America needs to decide who is her Lord and Saviour. It's not the Supreme Court as we can see.
And Thomas sent the signal to send cases to the Court to overturn Obergefell. Add Barrett to the court and they’ll do it.
