Kim Davis No Longer Alone - 30 Judges In North Carolina Refusing Homosexual Marriage

More than 30 magistrates in North Carolina have refused to

Senator Phil Berger

perform weddings. But thanks to a new state law, they were able to do so legally.

Right after the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in June, the state passed a law allowing officials to opt out of performing all marriages.

The law exempts court officials with a “sincerely held religious objection” and is designed for those opposing gay marriage.

The law’s original sponsor, Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger, said it’s probably preventing situations like the one in Kentucky.

“It’s keeping folks from having to choose between their job and their religious beliefs. I think that’s important,” he said.

Berger said so far the law hasn’t caused any problems.

“I think the law is working very well,” he said.

Only Utah has a similar law.

David Bunning: The Republican Judge That Threw Kim Davis A Democrat In Jail

Rowan County Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis a Democrat was jailed by a federal judge,  Republican, who said that putting natural law above his authority would set a dangerous precedent.

David Bunning

U.S. District Judge David L. Bunning is the son a former Hall of Fame baseball player and  U.S. Senator Jim Bunning.  He is also an out of touch Catholic, who has turned his back on his faith with his statement that the court's authority supersedes natural law, God's Law.

“The idea of natural law superseding this court’s authority would be a dangerous precedent indeed,” U.S. District Judge David L. Bunning told Rowan County clerk Kim Davis. “If it were me, I also would have submitted to the governing authority, but not without a resounding “SAY WHAT, YOUR HONOR?!””

Actually, the sovereignty of natural law over man-made authority is a founding principle  of our constitutional republic. These United States separated from the British monarchy because we were entitled to by “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God,” and not subservient to the alleged divine right of kings, nor to an imperious Parliament.

We established a Constitution of enumerated powers, not of general legislative authority, and “We, the People” gave Congress authority to legislate only within the powers granted in the Constitution. The rest belongs to the states, to the people and, obviously, to the great lawmaker and judge of us all.

Not only does natural law supersede the court’s authority, the judge’s authority is utterly dependent upon the existence of such a law as well as upon the authority of God.

This is not to say that each individual person may decide what natural law (or God’s law) shall be for the entire republic. But it certainly does not mean that a federal judge’s authority supersedes the law of God, or “natural law.”

Kim Davis: Rowan County Kentucky Clerk Did Not Break The Law - The Judge Did

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.
