The United States is not a theocracy.
The Mullahs don't run the place like they do in Iran.
You may jump up and down and not like the Supreme Court's decision for religious reasons, and that's fine, but not everyone in this nation believes as you do.
And if today's Court started to rule in favor of Christianity, which version? The one with the most people?
Look, be unhappy with the Court, but I could not from a government point of view see a reason to stop gay marriage. I can't. Not everyone is Christian. Not everyone has your version of Christianity.
Most of our ancestors ( who came here by choice) left Europe to get away from some form of religious difference.
Gov. Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton are telling counties and state agencies to stand by for some sort of directions. Abbott is saying that if the leadership in state agencies have religious objections to the marriages, they can stop gay spouses from receiving benefits from the state employee....so far Jefferson and Orange Counties are not issuing same sex marriage licenses.
That will draw lawsuits like you wouldn't believe. And every one will lose...
Instead of spend the money it'll take to defend what will be a losing proposition, why don't you give retired teachers a raise?
