"Here's What Kim Davis Doesn't Understand About Faith..."

[theIowaHawk]

Chuck balDwin points out that congress makes laws. Supreme court said doma not good. The constitution states that in the absence of fed law, it falls back to the states. Nothing in that statement is wrong

This is such a weird post. First, it ignores the Constitution, implying that is isn't/can't be "laws" since not passed by Congress. Second it cites the SCOTUS, after OiT has spent the last few weeks claiming they have no authority. Then, finally, and the best part, it cites the Constitution for something that it doesn't really say...........after implying that the Constitution doesn't apply.

Yes, that statement is, in fact, wrong. The Constitution of the United States of America is a document that limits the powers of government, first the Federal government, but then every State government via the 14th Amendment.

The Constitution protects the right of Marriage, again, via the 14th, to each and every State. Now are those words in the Constitution? No, but they are found to be within the 9th Amendment. As you state OiT, those that are not granted explicitly are still left for the PEOPLE, not necessarily the States.

Hence the following simple logic: States can't deny Constitutional rights. Marriage = Constitutional right. Kentucky can't deny a marriage license on unconstitutional grounds. Unconstitutional grounds = sexual preference (or gender). Kim Davis = Government. Therefore Kim Davis = Government =/= deny Marriage licenses to same sex people.


Claiming that "there is no law passed by Congress" completely ignores the place, and purpose, of the US Constitution. Which you ignore, I get that.......but then you cite directly to it, which is odd.

The SCOTUS did not simply say, "DOMA not good."

She's also gorgeous... She seems to have come from nowhere, was shocked to see she barely has a Wiki page.

She's also gorgeous... She seems to have come from nowhere, was shocked to see she barely has a Wiki page.

We saw her for the first time back in 2011 with about 10 other people in a coffeeshop - holy cow is she ever gorgeous. She actually had a top 40 song on the adult chart that year - 1,000 Ships - you've probably heard it and not known it. She came back regularly to do house concerts at a friend's place - the last one right before she signed with Columbia. We helped promote her around here over the years so her last concert here drew several hundred people. For a house concert, that's huge.

She's a great person. I keep telling her she should be a jazz vocalist...it fits her voice.

This one is pretty easy for me - if people of faith want the government to stay out of their faith then they need to keep their faith out of government. You can do a job without agreeing with the choices of people you are doing it for.

and for a people who seem to think the government is taking away their religious liberties, i don't see them complaining about their church's tax exempt status

where in the bible does it say the supreme court can change your job description mid-stream then jail you if you do not follow God's laws? actually, biblical prophecy predicts this
