Republican presidential candidate and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson said at a campaign rally Wednesday that the Supreme Court had not “overstepped its boundaries” when Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis took her job.
Davis was jailed for refusing to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Carson spoke at a rally in Anaheim, California.
“The Supreme Court had not overstepped its boundaries and done what it did at the time when she took that job,” Carson said, according to a tweet by Washington Post reporter Dave Weigel.
In other words:
“THE FAGGOTS COULDN’T GET HITCHED THEN!” said Uncle Tom.
And they didn’t overstep their boundaries in ruling that the equal rotation and due process clauses apply to non-hetoersexuasl and same-gender couples.
So to even begin to go down that path of idiocy is a non-starter.
Hey, Doc - Loving vs. Virginia. Any comments on that? How about Brown vs. Board of Education?
Overstepping their boundries = not ruling my way.
Aside from the fact that the Supreme Court acted reasonably and Constitutionally, in any employment situation, responsibilities and expectations change. Laws change. As an employee, particularly a public employee, elected or appointed, one must either accept the changes and act accordingly, or resign.
Perhaps Dr. Carson has been sniffing the ether for so long that this simple truth evades his understanding.
