Kim Davis’ lawyer says they actually won at the Sixth Circuit yesterday. Here’s why.

Image
ROWAN COUNTY, A lawyer for embattled clerk Kim Davis says his client has won -- despite a decision against her yesterday. Liberty Counsel 's Mat Staver says that while the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals denied Davis' injunction request against Gov. Steve Beshear 's order that clerks hand out gay “marriage” licenses, that was only a preliminary decision and one that is "rarely granted." In a partial victory for Davis, "the court also denied the governor's request to [have the case] be dismissed," Staver told LifeSiteNews. No matter how the Sixth Circuit Court definitively rules, however, Davis -- who spent five days in jail   for contempt of court   -- has already won because "she does not have her name and title affixed to the marriage certificates ," explained Staver.   Davis and her attorneys will now open a new fight for religious liberty , this one inside the state of Kentucky . Staver argues that the state is "requ...

Gavin Newsom acted illegally homosexual marriages

Image
Lieutenant Governor of California Gavin Newsom (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Flashback: the year is 2004, and same sex marriage is illegal in California (by a law approved by voters in 2000 and affirmed by the State Legislature—this was the “everything but marriage” approach to the SSM issue, allowing same-sex couples the same legal rights as married couples, just without the word “marriage”). San Francisco mayor , Gavin Newsom , ordered the county clerk to illegally start issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples. The California Supreme Court stepped in, ordering the process stopped. Eventually the Federal Courts stepped in and ordered the process started again, under the ridiculous legal reasoning that sense that county clerk had allowed licenses to begin with, there was no rational reason to stop the process. Present Day: Unlike California, Rowan County, Kentucky elects their county clerks. Before running for clerk herself, Kim Davis (a democrat) had worked in the cl...

Walker, Jindal back Kentucky clerk on marriage licenses: ‘The Constitution is very clear’

Image
English: Scott Walker on February 18, 2011 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Two more GOP presidential candidates have chimed in on the issue of whether Rowan County clerk Kim Davis must provide marriage licenses for same-sex couples. While three candidates   have publicly supported Davis' right to only provide marriage licenses for man-woman couples,   three others   have said she must do so or resign. This morning, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker   told Laura Ingraham , "In the end, this is the balance that you gotta have to have in America, between the laws that are out there, but ultimately ensuring that the Constitution is upheld. I read that the Constitution is very clear that people have freedom of religion -- you have the freedom to practice religious beliefs out there, it's a fundamental right ." Walker also said that he believes the Supreme Court erred in redefining marriage. That decision has led to Davis' circumstances, which include being in cou...

Supreme Court Judge prior to gay marriage decision - mind made up

Image
English: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Ruther Bader Ginsburg was wrong. Justice Ginsburg violated judicial ethics when she gave a media interview presaging her vote to redefine marriage (even before the case was briefed or argued) in which she outrageously predicted that the Supreme Court decision imposing same-sex 'marriage' would be readily accepted by the country. The evidence that the country is not embracing this ruling mounts every day. A nationwide survey of voters conducted by Reuters found that only 51% of Americans support same-sex 'marriage' following the Supreme Court ruling — a considerably smaller percentage than many national polls found prior to the ruling — and nearly two thirds of Republicans oppose the Supreme Court decision. Reuters noted that this will likely ensure that opposition to the Supreme Court ruling will be a pivotal issue in the selection of the Republic...

Chris Christie: Clerks must perform same-sex ‘marriages’ regardless of their religious beliefs

Image
Governor of New Jersey at a town hall in Hillsborough, NJ 3/2/11 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Chris Christie is not known for nuance. This time, he has turned his fiery personality loose on county clerks and other officials who have religious objections to performing same-sex “marriages.” In a tone usually reserved for busting teachers' unions, Christie told clerks who hold traditional values, “You took the job, and you took the oath.” He would offer no exemption for an individual whose conscience would not allow him to participate in a union the vast majority of the world's religions deem sinful. “When you go back and re-read the oath it doesn’t give you an out. You have to do it,” he said. He told a reporter that there “might” be “individual circumstances” that “merit some examination, but none that come immediately to mind for me.” “I think for folks who are in the government world, they kind of have to do their job, whether you agree with the law or you don’t,” the pugna...

Gay ‘marriages’ will continue in Arkansas after county judge’s ruling, state Supreme Court decides

Image
LITTLE ROCK, AR ,  – The Arkansas State Supreme Court has refused to grant a stay, meaning that homosexual “marriages” may continue in the state although the U.S. Supreme Court has not ruled their legality. Last week, County Circuit judge Chris Piazza ruled that Arkansas' 2004 marriage amendment is unconstitutional. Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel asked for the decision to be suspended while the state appeals the decision, but the state's high court  refused the request  on Wednesday. Within days of Piazza's ruling, 450 homosexual couples received marriage licenses, which will be declared invalid if the state law is upheld. Nearly all county clerks refused to provide licenses, arguing that the Supreme Court has not ruled on the constitutionality of same-sex "marriage." McDaniel said this uncertainty should be enough for a "stay" of Piazza's ruling, which struck down a 2004 constitutional amendment approved by 75 percent of...

IRS Bullies target Christians who dont support Homosexual Marriage

NOM's decision to stand up to abuse and fight back by suing the IRS is generating a mountain of positive responses with major media outlets. By our rough count, NOM's case has been mentioned over 85 times this past week! A special shout-out to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz , a major GOP presidential hopeful, for speaking out about this abuse of power in front of the cameras at a morning press conference: Fox News took notice on numerous occasions — including this one: Here's NOM's own fighting law professor and Chairman John Eastman on Neil Cavuto : But of all the coverage the one that lays bare new and important details is this radio interview between Mike Huckabee and John Eastman: Mike Huckabee:   "...this is pretty explosive. It's one thing to say an application got bureaucratic red tape that's inexcusable and unforgivable but what you're saying is that the information that by law is confidential on your tax return was handed over to ...

Gary Bauer: If GOP abandons marriage ‘I will take as many people’ out of the party as possible

Image
WASHINGTON, D.C., March 26, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – If the Republican Party abandons its traditional defense of marriage, it will lead to an exodus of voters from the GOP, former presidential candidate and Reagan administration appointee Gary Bauer said today.  He told thousands at the March for Marriage that he knew many of the attendees were Democrats, independents, or belonged to a third party. “I'm a Republican,” he said in rising cadences. “Let me say to my party: If you bail out on this issue, I will leave the party, and I will take as many people with me as I possibly can!” His speech seemed to take aim at the assessment of Republican strategist Karl Rove , who said on Sunday that  he could see the next Republican presidenital candidate supporting gay “marriage.” Bauer's  cri de couer  is the most blunt reaction so far to suggestions from the Republican Party's leadership that the GOP step away from its platform's traditional stance on s...
