You're not free to enforce your religion on others as a public servant.

I genuinely do not understand how this was ever a case. You are an employee at an office that provides a service. You are a representative of that organization. And, as a civil service employee, I would expect you are obligated by the laws of that county or state to facilitate the services offered.

Davis, as the Rowan County Clerk in 2015, was the sole authority tasked with issuing marriage licenses on behalf of the government under state law.

ON BEHALF OF

Regardless if you're in this position or you're the president, you are obligated by the state or federal constitution to operate as a representative of that jurisdiction's laws.

If she took on this job while knowing it would conflict with her religious views, or the laws changed in a matter that conflicted with her views, she should have notified the county and she should have been denied or removed from that position. Although, I'm sure that raises a different case in denying someone employment based on their religion.

Interracial marriage is on the table too with these fascists.

If they're going to open the door to any government employee being able to refuse to do their job as directed on religious grounds, this country is going to grind to a halt.

Just kidding, we all know that with the current court and administration, this will only allow people with the "right" religion to refuse.

Could we just get government out of the marriage game? It seems to be the source of all the problems. They simply shouldn't care.

Even if we don't this is such a simple concept: Marriage is a contract. The requirements for a contract is consenting adults. How can they make gender determine who can sign a contract? That would be unreasonable.

Of course they are. And of course that stupid bitch Kim Davis is involved.

Also: how could Joe Biden and Kamala Harris do this to us?

Can this bitch just fucking die already? I'm tired of seeing her face in the news every couple years

Who is the injured party here? She clearly refused to do her job.

What a hateful piece of shit.

Shocked, I tell you! Shocked!

Also, what's going on with the Epstein Files? Ya know, while we're on the subject of "Dead Cat Theory"

You work for the government, you are acting as the government, paid for by taxes from your constituents.

You do not get to decide which laws to follow. Fuck off Kim.

Another 3 to 6 decision then. It's getting kind of repetitive.

Yooooo.... This bitch is still doing the same, heinous shit? A decade later? Why don't these pieces of shit just get fucking lives or hobbies or something? They're like goddamned ghouls, hanging around and smelling of shit. Like. Fuck. GO AWAY.

Can we get someone who believes in Jakub elected as county clerk somewhere in the US South? Then they can deny marriage licenses to all the white people for being inhuman.

But her divorces and multiple marriages are fine.

Fuck. Not this asshole again. She should have faded into obscurity and poverty by now.

This is how it goes people, either everyone gets rights or no one gets rights.

They come for the Trans people first, how long until the come for you.

"Davis said she's been "called Hitler, I’ve been called [a] hypocrite, I’ve been called a homophobe."

"I’ve been called things and names that I didn’t even say when I was in the world. Those names don’t hurt me," Davis said. "What probably hurt me the worst is when someone tells me that my God does not love me or that my God is not happy with me, that I am a hypocrite of a Christian.""

Lmao, so you don't mind being called Hitler, but being called a fake Christian - now that's insulting! Tells you everything you need to know

Depressing as hell but honestly, I’m surprised it took this long.

Would this be a record turnaround for revoking a group's rights?

So could she have refused to serve a black person or an Asian person based on her personal religious views that she doesn't like black or Asian people?
