Did Kentucky court clerk, Kim Davis, violate the law and should she have been
jailed? The answer is
quite clear: Davis upheld the law, and the judge’s order
is unlawful and, indeed, criminal and tyrannical.
According to Kentucky Revised Statutes Chapter 402.005,
marriage is defined as:
As used and recognized in the law of the Commonwealth,
“marriage” refers only to the civil status, condition, or relation of one (1)
man and one (1) woman united in law for life, for the discharge to each other
and the community of the duties legally incumbent upon those whose association
is founded on the distinction of sex.
The chapter also goes on to point out that Davis was right
in following the law as to who is not permitted to receive a marriage license.
402.010 reads:
Degree of relationship that will bar marriage. (1) No
marriage shall be contracted between persons who are nearer of kin to each
other by consanguinity, whether of the whole or half-blood, than second cousins.
(2) Marriages prohibited by subsection (1) of this section are incestuous and
void.
The chapter continues in 402.020 to prohibit other
marriages, including those between members of the same sex, spouses who are
married and seeking another marriage without divorce and polygamy.
Finally, it is noteworthy that 402.080 states, “No marriage
shall be solemnized without a license therefor. The license shall be issued by
the clerk of the county in which the female resides at the time, unless the
female is eighteen (18) years of age or over or a widow, and the license is
issued on her application in person or by writing signed by her, in which case
it may be issued by any county clerk.”
So, Kim Davis has followed the laws of Kentucky and, I might
add, the laws of God concerning marriage. Who then is the violator of law in
this matter? First, the sodomites are the violators of these laws in their
attempt to get a marriage license. Second, the judge in the matter is in
violation of the law by ordering Davis to do what is unlawful.
Frankly, it seems high time the people of Kentucky stop
protesting and start demanding that Judge David Bunning and members of the
Supreme Court be impeached and that sodomites be held accountable lawfully for
their criminal behavior. Like I’ve said before, if we would deal with the crime
of sodomy lawfully, we wouldn’t be at this crossroads where so many people are
confused about marriage.
A full list of marriage law statutes in Kentucky can be
found here, which were written by the representatives of the people in the
Kentucky legislature.
Excellent assessment!
ReplyDeleteExcellent assessment and remedy!
ReplyDeleteWrong on all accounts. I suggest you actually study up on how our country works. The scotus ruled that laws banning same sex marriage violated the 14th amendment. And "gods law" doesn't supercede the Constitution
ReplyDeleteGods law supercedes everything!
DeleteActually you're the one wrong here. Firstly, the SCOTUS completely overstepped its boundaries by MAKING A LAW recognizing same sex marriages. But that's Congress' job - to make laws, and no Congress ever passed any laws or statutes mandating and requiring that people like Kim Davis (in their positions) must issue licenses to homosexuals. And anyway, the 14th amendment - as well as the 13th and 15th - clearly are about the legal rights of slaves after the civil war, coequally called the "civil war amendments". It has absolutely and positively nothing to do with same sex marriage. Only a bafoonish and activist supreme court so badly misconstrues an amendment of the constitution like that - and that's exactly what we have. I suggest you study constitutional law to see how the constitution is supposed to be interpreted (called "originalism").
DeleteBunning should have been recused based on prior homosexuality ties to the community. Someone else in the office could have performed the service and the 14th amendment guarantees equality. KY should also have timely changed their laws to support the Supreme Court decision. Blame for many....
