Thirty Magistrates In North Carolina Revolt Against Gay Marriage


The “opt out” law’s original sponsor, Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger, believes it’s probably preventing situations like the one in Kentucky from occurring in Carolina. ”It’s keeping folks from having to choose between their job and their religious beliefs. I think that’s important,” he said. Only Utah has a similar law, but many cases are opening up.

The Rowan County Kentucky clerk is in jail for contempt of court because she refused, on the basis of her First Amendment rights, to issue a same-sex marriage certificate.
The scofflaws in this case are the majority of the U.S. Supreme Court who violated the Constitution by legislating, a power explicitly denied to any branch of government except Congress. Congress had overwhelmingly approved a law that defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman.  Source: Truth Uncensored.

Likewise, if we turn to the Constitution of Kentucky, we find this plain English provision: “Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Kentucky. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized.”
It is very important to note the U.S. Supreme Court has no authority to overturn the Constitution of any state. There are provisions  to amend state constitutions, just as there are provisions in the U.S. Constitution to amend it. In the end, which law did Kim Davis break or defy by refusing to issue a same-sex marriage certificate?
None.
