I just read this about Mike Huckabee. I'm not a lawyer, so I'm just wondering. Is this a matter of semantics, or is Huckabee correct?



Here is what Huckabee told his supporters.


I spoke with Kim Davis this morning to offer my prayers and support. For those of you who don’t know, Kim is the Rowan County Clerk, a Democrat, who is under fire from the left for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses in Kentucky.

I let Kim know how proud I am of her for not abandoning her religious convictions and standing strong for religious liberty. She is showing more courage and humility than just about any federal officeholder in Washington.

Kim is asking the perfect question: ‘Under what law am I authorized to issue homosexual couples a marriage license?’ That simple question is giving many in Congress a civics lesson that they never got in grade school.

The Supreme Court cannot and did not make a law. They only made a ruling on a law. Congress makes the laws. Because Congress has made no law allowing for same-sex marriage, Kim does not have the Constitutional authority to issue a marriage license to homosexual couples.

Kim is a person of great conviction. When people of conviction fight for what’s right they often pay a price, but if they don’t and we surrender, we will pay a far greater price for bowing to the false God of judicial supremacy. Government is not God. No man – and certainly no unelected lawyer – has the right to redefine the laws of nature or of nature’s God. Five unelected lawyers have abused their power by ruling in favor of a national right to same-sex marriage with no legal precedent and with nothing in our Constitution to back it up. They have violated American’s most fundamental right guaranteed by our Constitution — religious liberty.

I stand with Kim Davis and every American of faith under attack by Washington elites who have nothing but disdain for us, our faith and the Constitution.

If you stand with us, please sign my petition in support of religious liberty here.

With gratitude,
Mike Huckabee

This is exactly what I have been saying since long before the ruling ever got to the supreme court.
The supreme court has never, and will never, have the right to make or change laws. If they did, we would be Nazis with one court of a few judges deciding everything and have no need for legislators.

If we are going strictly by what the law books read, this clerk has been falsely imprisoned and continues to be. As Scalia stated in his dissent, the supreme court should have never accepted the case as it does not pertain to them.
They are supposed to interpret the law. The law was clearly defined as one man and one woman. They did not have the authority to do that. They should have denied the case and told the plantiffs they needed to talk to there local congressmen about changing the laws.

IMHO, and I mean this with every breath in me, those judges on the supreme court who made this mess by breaking the law and going above the constitution should be tried, and ultimately hanged for treason.

That is just my two cents, and I would say EXACTLY the same if the law stated anybody can marry anything and the supreme court was reversed and decided to change it too one man and one woman. They would have no authority to do so without legislators changing the law. Those senators and congressmen represent the people. This is not a civil problem. Nobody can prove anyone is gay at birth and without the proof, the science community can only agree that for now, it is a choice, no matter how much they want to lie. Those who scream about discrimination obviously don't understand that blacks had no choice when it came to skin color. These are two separate and entirely different issues.
Im extremely curious as to what would happen if the republicans take the white house, the complete majority, and have all the authority in the country to make laws. Are those on the supreme court still going to tell them they are wrong and cant do it? Its eventually coming to a head because we have too many loose laws in this country without an exact definition that are too often let up to a bias court making the ruling.

Obamacare got passed on a technicality and lie about it being a tax.
gay marriage got passed because of 5 liberals who decided to change the laws themselves.

Grab the popcorn and see what happens.
