What isn't clear is how you can argue that an agent of the government can use religion to justify violating the 14th amendment.
It's like saying that the 1st amendment protects a public school principal who tries to use his religion to justify not letting Asian kids in his school.
Remember, were talking about Kim Davis, elected public official acting in her role as county clerk, not Kim Davis, private citizen.
I have to agree with you on this, especially the bolded.
Kim Davis is welcome to her opinion on the matter, but she's not allowed to discriminate in her position based on her personal feelings.
