I guess this is to be expected since these folks don&#8217;t have any idea what the constitution says or means&#8230;the first amendment and it&#8217;s protections of religious freedom DOES NOT mean that you are free to impose your religious views on others&#8230;and that is what this case is about&#8230;this religious zealot trying to impose her interpretation of faith on the entire county by not issuing and ordering her deputies to not issue marriage licenses to gay couples&#8230;that&#8217;s it&#8230;she is free to practice her religion and not marry a woman, but she is not free to tell anyone else how to live their lives&#8230;it would be the same thing as if a Muslim person, working for the county, refused to grant a restaurant a license if they are going to serve pork ribs, in accordance to his religion&#8230;or one working for the DMV refusing to give a driver&#8217;s license to woman since his sect says women shouldn&#8217;t drive. You get my drift here&#8230;and there should never be any type of &#8220;religious accommodation&#8221; that would allow these bigots to continue to collect their pay and not do their jobs&#8230;if it means that much to them, quit, and go live your religious live somewhere else&#8230;.I have no tolerance for these people any more&#8230;geez&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well&#8230;I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard about the clerk in Kentucky who was jailed for contempt of court when she refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples citing her &#8220;religious freedom&#8221; and the elevation of this bigot to hero status for the right&#8230;and the circus continues today with Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee organizing a rally &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/?p=10876\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The circus continues&#8230;<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[771,1029,56],"class_list":["post-10876","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-gay-marriage","tag-kentucky","tag-religion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10876","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10876"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10876\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10878,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10876\/revisions\/10878"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10876"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10876"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
