“cannot use her own constitutional rights as a shield to violate the constitutional rights of others while performing her duties as an elected official”.
“It’s my right to deny your rights.”
Remeber these are the people shouting about religious freedoms.
This is something that needs to shouted loud and clear.
The Constitution protects citizens from the government. If you work for the government, you are what the Constitution protects us from. If you do not understand that, you do not need to be getting a paycheck drawn from taxpayers.
They literally believe the very existence of gay married couples is an assault on their religious freedom. The unchecked “religious freedom” they want logically would include bigamy and pedophilia, but better not talk about that.
Evangelicals and conservatives want to be protected by American laws but not bound by them, while everyone else is tightly bound by laws, but not protected by them.
Rob Corddry did a Daily Show interview way back about the pharmacist and birth control (the abortion pill). The pharmacist kept saying about his right were being violated when the courts said he had to go against his beliefs. Rob sarcastically says (I’m paraphrasing), “yeah, how can they push their beliefs on you! that’s your job to do the customer!”
She’ll just get crowdfunding money from Republicans (white domestic terrorists).
I mean, either way it’s a win. If she gets $2 each from a shitload of right wing fuckheads, that means we made ~50,000 right wing fuckheads pay to support gay marriage.
That’s 50,000 people paying for the attempt at preventing gay marriage, not in support of it.
Paying for a failed attempt. So it’s kind of impotence squared if it happens.
That’s $100,000 that won’t get to those people unless somebody else raises it because I doubt very seriously Kim Davis has $100,000.
that number sounds too low.
assuming that the last election was 50% and that 50% of voters are republicans; about 70 million people could support her like this.
I don’t care where she gets the money, as I’m delighted where the money is going.
I get the joke but to be clear, handouts are not a problem for these folks, so long as the Jesus Strings are fully attached.
Everyone has the right to follow their religion. If Big Kim didn’t want to disobey her God, she is allowed to: by resigning her position in protest and joining a monastery.
Good, fuck her, cunt.
On another topic, while I’m straight, if I were gay, I don’t think I’m prepared to date, let alone marry, someone with the same first name as me. Being gay is perfectly normal, marrying someone with the same first name as you isn’t. No judgement though, just don’t think I’m cut out for it.
I dated a guy with the same name as me once, just went by my middle name while we were together.
XD I’m straight and my name is Aaron. I could never be with an Erin. There’s just something weird about it.
So judge David B ruled Kim Davis had to pay David E and David M 50k each. .
I was not aware there were so many Dave’s involved.
These are the Daves that I know I know, these are the Daves I know. Some of them go by David but most of them just go by Dave. They all have different hands but come from different moms
