And yet, the Mundane and Pointless RO is going in full force. :smack:
So ignoring the Constitution and the Supreme Court is OK?
Did I say that?
You obviously approve of her actions since you object to the publicity.
Wow. You just made…some point?
No, I don’t obviously, or otherwise, approve of anything of the sort.
What is the point of RO threads in the Pit?
To express outrage…
D’Anconia, I invite you to look up and peruse the posting history of one Carol Stream, a late, and not widely lamented former Doper who, like you in this instance, occasionally felt compelled to appoint herself as the arbiter of that which is worthy of the BBQ Pit treatment.
I make no representation that such behavior led to the fact of her being a former Doper; I bring her up simply as an illustration of someone who never did much of anything to make a visit to the board worthwhile.
In a recreational manner!
Tax law question - if she receives money from Go Fund Me, is that income? Would she have to pay taxes on it? It wouldn’t be the same as carrying the full freight of the fine, but it would at least be something.
Although I’m guessing it would be the same as getting an inheritance, and not taxable to the recipient.
Go to another county, find another clerk. the solution to a problem did have a simple solution despite everything else since marriage itself is the end goal but it appears the end goal was really to be a drama queen.
It does not matter to me if this particular clerk, or any other similar clerk receives glory as a martyr or a million bucks in donations. I really don’t care about that. What I would like to see is simply: Evil clerk loses job and is replaced by a good clerk who will issue licenses.
Maybe someone could publish a Green Book for [del]Negro Motorists[/del] Gay Document Requesters.
IOW, fuck that noise.
And if I don’t have any transport to the next county seat? A quick check makes it seem like at least a round-trip of an hour to the next county seat. And how do I know that the clerk at the next county over is issuing same-sex licenses?
And what if you just don’t want to? Same-sex marriage is the supreme law of the land now. It’s no longer something that requires explanation, argument, evasion, or permission. Every last public official in the country made a binding oath, irrevocable during their time in office, that now requires them to treat same-sex couples equally.
I do, I do! I’ve been there on several occasions, mostly to attend events at Morehead State University.
Am I allowed to oppose criminal activity there now? Need answer fast.
We don’t let county clerks violate the law, or decide what the law is. That’s a bit above their pay grade.
Asshole. If you can’t join in on the outrage, at least post something worthwhile. Otherwise just shut the fuck up and crawl back under your rock.
This. Kinda. I view this as 1) an internal matter and 2) one in which the person ultimately in charge is responsible. So, let the courts go to her boss, or her boss’s boss, and tell them that the person in that potion needs to be able to fulfill her duties ion accordance with the laws. Then the “boss” can either fire her or move her to another role where her duties do not conflict with her religious beliefs.
