then she can be martyred anyway because wolverines will be considered the part of the devil's dog pound. eaten alive by a pack of angels...now you're onto something.

I would bet that she never believed that this would become law. But that she did have an issue with gay marriage before she was elected.

Her duties didn't change. She fills out paperwork and takes oaths. Those are her duties.

She may have a claim to be compensated because her job duties were altered. Something that you personally experienced I believe.

And the Kentucky paid bigots for years. So there is legal precedence for it.

_________________

1. I took a job that I was paid well for, and hated it. I left after 6 months, but I didn't ask for a golden parachute to leave.

2. My personal work experience is irrelevant to this conversation.

3. If she is allowed to do this, couldn't someone in the south decide they don't believe in the Civil Rights Act, and refuse to serve black people?

_________________

1.So you didn't ask for money to leave. That doesn't preclude her from doing so if she so chooses. And my guess is she won't.

2. Your personal work experience mirrors hers. It is relevant.

3.Try and find a law that wasn't in place when "someone in the South" was elected. Then you will have a like comparison.

4. I'm sure there are elected officials in the South that apply the Civil Rights Act only when they are forced to.

I guess Im thinking of the Bible more than the specific religion, but doesnt it seem like there is a hyper focus on the one banned act (gay marriage) vs the other (re marriage after divorce)?

God's will

Her duties did not change. She wasn't elected as the straight marriage clerk. She is to issue licenses in accordance with the law. Those rules and regulations change all the time. To think you deserve severance because you have to issue the same permit to different people is illogical.

Seacrest trying to follow your line of logic here. Was she elected before 1868? The SCOTUS decision is based on Constituional law, and the 14th Amendment which contains the Equal Protections Clause was passed in 1868. The rules weren't changed, SCOTUS just finally said that you can't change the rules because you think the gays are icky.

I think we can all agree that gay marriage is a new law.

Well it's not, but you can hold that opinion. I would think as a vocal Christian you would be much more concerned with this woman giving good people of faith a bad name than her right to not do her job, but again: your opinions are your own.

This woman is also violating the separation of church and state by choosing God's law over the law of the land.

No Christian is a perfect one. The last one who was perfect the nailed to a tree.
We are all infallible,but to ask someone to out right violate there faith when they ask not to then threaten them with losing their job over it is that not a violation of that persons rights? Or do not Christians not have them? That is what seems to what is being brushed aside. It is that seemingly moral people are being asked not only to tolerate but condone and support what we are told in a document that is over 4000 years old as being held up as the moral base for three of the largest faiths in the world to push that faith and moral code aside to let what is held in that book as being wrong and basically being told that our belief and feelings have no weight in the discussion is wrong.
