The Rowan County Kentucky clerk still refuses to obey the law and issue marriage licenses to gay couples despite a Supreme Court Ruling making same-sex marriage a right nationwide and losing her court case and subsequent appeals claiming that to do so would violate her religious freedom.
She loses and refuses to do her job. She was elected to do the job of county clerk. She should do it. Not just the parts she likes, but all of it.
Now that she has lost her case and lost the appeal, it seems the best course is either to resign or carry out her duty as County Clerk. If she still refuses, and so far it looks like she will, can she be removed for her position (even temporarily, pending a permanent solution)? If she continues to disobey the law, will she be found in contempt and continue not to do her job from jail?
Agree…if her religious beliefs preclude her from doing the entire job,she should resign.
Glad we agree on this one.
