But I digress. I will make a quick post on the Kentucky clerk issues and what I see going on with that. The Federal Judge had her locked up for a week after she refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples. I have had people tell me.."Well the Supreme Court is the supreme law of the land...so she has to do it......". Well lets get technical....the Supreme Court issued a ruling...not a law. The last time I checked my handy civic book....the Legislative branch makes law not the Supreme court. The supreme court can rule if a law is "Constitutional". They cannot make the law.
I do have several questions.....This lady said she couldn't sign her name on these certificates because it violated her religious beliefs and Kentucky Law. I am surprised that there was no attempt for an administrative compromise? Have somebody else sign their name on the certificate. I am amazed that the feds had her arrested, perp walked and booked then keep her in the pokey for a week? This screams of "Agenda". The feds move fast on this lady...but Hillery is still out and campaigning...?
From what I saw, there was no attempt to work an administrative compromise....to move her somewhere else.....they had to instead have the Obama's department of Justice have her arrested....This wasn't from the state level...this was the federal level. I personally don't care for the gay issues...but my libertarian streak also believes that what is done in the bedroom between two consenting adults ain't my business. That being said, this is pure muscle flexing by the LGBT lobby, they put political pressure on the feds and they had to lock this women up...to teach her a lesson, how dare she defy her federal overlords...
