“cannot use her own constitutional rights as a shield to violate the constitutional rights of others while performing her duties as an elected official”.
"It's my right to deny your rights."
Remeber these are the people shouting about religious freedoms.
They literally believe the very existence of gay married couples is an assault on their religious freedom. The unchecked "religious freedom" they want logically would include bigamy and pedophilia, but better not talk about that.
Evangelicals and conservatives want to be protected by American laws but not bound by them, while everyone else is tightly bound by laws, but not protected by them.
That sounds like a whole new take on “but but you’re being intolerant of intolerant people!”
They are different manifestations of the central “I get to be an asshole if I want but you can’t do anything about it”
Rob Corddry did a Daily Show interview way back about the pharmacist and birth control (the abortion pill). The pharmacist kept saying about his right were being violated when the courts said he had to go against his beliefs. Rob sarcastically says (I'm paraphrasing), "yeah, how can they push their beliefs on you! that's your job to do the customer!"
Good, fuck her, cunt.
On another topic, while I'm straight, if I were gay, I don't think I'm prepared to date, let alone marry, someone with the same first name as me. Being gay is perfectly normal, marrying someone with the same first name as you isn't. No judgement though, just don't think I'm cut out for it.
FAFO
I guess no immunity for her?
Should been police!
You're looking at it the wrong way. This is like a cop seeking QI for letting an escaped convict go. Doing the opposite of their "job".
US district judge David Bunning said that Davis “cannot use her own constitutional rights as a shield to violate the constitutional rights of others while performing her duties as an elected official”.
[…]
During this week’s trial, Davis argued that she was protected from litigation due to qualified immunity, a doctrine that protects government officials from lawsuits accusing them of violating someone’s constitutional rights.
“I shouldn’t have to do this thing because of my beliefs.”
“I shouldn’t be guilty because I was acting on behalf of the government.”
Pretty big valley between these two arguments. Roast this fucking turd.
She looks like a gross pig
