No more same-sex marriages? Next will be interracial marriages.
Child marriages will still be okay cause pedophiles are protected by Republicans.

This case should have been stamped out a very long time ago. Her first amendment rights do not give her the authority to reject a valid marriage application. Refusing to do your job is not protected by any amendment, because it isn’t speech. There is no valid legal argument in defense of her actions.
The fact that we’re here, still talking about it, and there’s a chance she could be heard by this corrupted supreme court, that tells you where we are as a free nation.
Exactly. If you have moral or religious beliefs that will prevent you from doing your job it’s on you to find another.
Especially when it’s a public sector position that’s financed through taxes
Yes, but have you considered that the Supreme Court doesn’t care and wants instead to allow religious activists (like themselves) to disregard prior precedent and other religious beliefs in favor of enshrining their own personal beliefs as civil law? It’s really rather unfair of you to not consider their personal beliefs, which says they should be able to impose theirs and ignores yours, y’know.
To the right wing authoritarian mindset, unless their unwarranted special privileges (of being xtian) are not only centered, but put up on a pedestal, they think they are being “oppressed” and that they don’t have “freedom”.
The Southern notion of “freedom” and “liberty” involves things like owning others and forcing your own views onto everyone else, with the blessing and the power of the government.
So we get the idiocy of these people acting like they are the keepers of “liberty”, and “freedom” and say things about being for the Constitution and a “small government” with a straight face, even though all of it is a brazen lie. Forcing other peoples’ kids to pray to their god, use something like the “trump bible” and be denied their right to marry who they please is the exact opposite of freedom.
