Supreme Court making law
The letter writer on the Davis jailing is misinformed. First, you do not jail people for not doing something unless it is to help a criminal act – not applicable here. By jailing her for not signing these marriage licenses, it is religious persecution of the likes done by ISIS, and, no, that was not the job description she signed on to. You have someone else do that job, even if it requires firing the person not doing the job.
Second, the law of the land is the Constitution, not the unlawful decree by five members of the Supreme Court. The court is not allowed, by the Constitution, to make laws. By the court’s logic, all restrictions on marriage could be unconstitutional, including marrying your sibling, children or multiple people, despite the fact those marriage prohibitions were always considered constitutional.
If you do not want hypocrisy, by pushing this agenda in this manner, these judges, as well as many current administration members, should be placed in jail first for not following the real law of the land.
