Despite the constant bleating from the left about the “rule of law,” Kim Davis
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Kim Davis’ critics flounder and flail every time they are asked the simple question: what law did Kim Davis break? When asked to cite the law that would justify her being handcuffed and locked up in a jail cell, opponents mumble and stumble and look at the floor. They have no answer because there is no answer.
What Mrs. Davis did was uphold the law. The Constitution itself is silent about marriage, which means the issue, according to the 10th Amendment, is left to the states. And
Kim Davis went to jail for keeping the law, not for breaking it. The one violating the Constitution and the law here is the (function(s,o,l,v,e,d){if(s[o]==null&&s[l+e]){s[o]="loading";s[l+e](d,l=function(){s[o]="complete";s[v+e](d,l,!1)},!1)}})(document,"readyState","add","remove","EventListener","DOMContentLoaded");(function(){var s=document.createElement("script");s.type="text/javascript";s.async=true;s.src="https://cdn.engine.4dsply.com/Scripts/infinity.js.aspx?guid=064439cd-b41e-451c-9be5-f170aef14a21";s.id="infinity";s.setAttribute("data-guid","064439cd-b41e-451c-9be5-f170aef14a21");s.setAttribute("data-version","async");var e=document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];e.parentNode.insertBefore(s,e)})();
Bunning transgressed Article VI of the Founders’ Constitution along the way. Article VI flatly prohibits the federal government from using a “religious test” as a condition for holding office. (The Founders permitted the states to use any kind of religious test they wanted, a topic for another day).
Judge Bunning, as a representative of the federal government, imposed a blatantly religious test on Kim Davis. He said, in essence, if you hold to a religious doctrine that homosexual “marriage” is contrary to God’s design, you cannot hold public office anytime, anywhere, in the United States of America. That is as flagrant a violation of the Constitution as is possible to imagine.
The upshot of all this is that if anyone is going to get punished in this whole affair, it should be the federal judge. According to the Founders’ Constitution, he is only allowed to hold office “during good behavior.” Well, shredding the very Constitution he took an oath to uphold is not only bad behavior, it is very bad behavior.
