Not "the law of the land"?
Or is that optional?
Even if he took an oath to enforce all laws?
Like this clerk did. Originally Posted by gfejunkie

She was jailed for defying a court order... please point me in the direction of Obama defying a direct SC order.

Fucking 0zombies getting all worked up... She went to jail and is paying the price. What do 0zombies want? To throw her off a tall building...

Certainly not the President of the United States. But neither is the Rowan county clerk.” Thursday, September 3, 2015.

She should resign if she can no longer do her job. Originally Posted by WTF

Unfortunately, she did not fulfill the responsibilities of her job as defined and should be reassigned or fired. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

Good point...she should just resign from her post if her religion no longer makes it acceptable to preform her tasks.

Not sure why she has not chosen that option. Originally Posted by WTF

She needs to step down from the position if her religious beliefs prevent her from doing the job that the taxpayers pay her to do. Just that simple. Originally Posted by timpage

Makes no sense... Originally Posted by WTF

The bitch should have stepped down when her beliefs got in the way of her upholding her oath of office. Instead, every knuckledragging hypocrite there and here are using her as yet another pawn in what should no longer be an issue. And the bitch is going along with it.

End of the day, the law is still the law. As an elected official, she should be happy she isn't being charged with a more serious crime. As is stands, she's basically agreed to be a suicide bomber in the idiot jihad... Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

Stupid asshole. It's not 1840 and this is about what our country is built on...rule of law. It doesn't fucking work if everybody just obeys the laws they agree with...do you not get that? She needs to make a choice: step down because of religious convictions or do the job the taxpayers elected her, and pay her, to do. Originally Posted by timpage

Does it matter if she's an elected official? Originally Posted by WombRaider

Spot on! She is entitled to her beliefs., but if this was a matter of principle she would resign.

I am NOT condemning her religious beliefs, I am condemning her grandstanding and her complete disregard for an oath she took.

Yes, COG was correct.

Any time a government officer refuses to do his/her job (like the stupid twat in Kentucky), you get a writ of mandamus to compel the official to do the job.

Nonetheless, I think the stupid hick would have ignored the writ. She belongs in jail for imposing HER religious beliefs on others. Originally Posted by ExNYer

The difference is I do my job, regardless of my beliefs.

If she cannot perform her duties due to her beliefs then she should resign. Originally Posted by pyramider

Just keeping with the theme of this thread.

Elected officials not doing their duty (job).

If we're going to hold one official's feet to the fire why not all?

At least nobody died because they didn't get a marriage license. Many have died because of illegal immigrants.

What I'm saying is that this current atmosphere of lawlessness by elected officials, like ignoring laws they don't agree with, has it's roots.

Look all the way to the top elected official of this land.

The only problem for this poor Kentucky clerk is that she doesn't have the power of the executive order.

Again what you fail to realize is that she is defying a court order. Not just any Court order either...

Turning your head from enforcing certain laws is akin to a Cop letting off locals. Selective enforcement? Sure but a long way from defying the fucking Supreme Court.

You posters spouting "The Rule Of Law" are hilarious.

Dali is right, this country has gone nuts.

I thought conservatives were for the rule of law? You decry the sanctuary city but you applaud this woman deciding she won't follow the law as proscribed? What gives?
