Pretty sure is was "your" side, TS, who threw down the "she's not doing her job" card. And, that is a valid argument. And, while the task is discretionary, Parker still refused to perform it, while still being paid by tax-paying citizens.
As you say, "Just do your f*****g job."
You know, your mindset is exactly what is wrong with our country today. "Their" side and "our side" should be abolished from our conscience, as Americans.
You'll probably take offense that the structure of my sentence placed "their" before "our".
I'll say it again, do we want to accomodate government workers/officials, elected or not, to prevent them from performing tasks which force them to go against reasonable personal/religious convictions? That is formed into a question, not a statement and doesn't warrant an argument.
Again, the state of North Carolina has a recusal law in place so magistrates may recuse from the task. Apparently, it's a reasonable expectation.

Elmo, I was just asking and got an answer that seems reasonable. No biggie, thanks though for the concerns.

thanks TS, i didn't ignore the question. i had stepped outside to do my dog toenails.
Guitar did you mean they both .....
aired their personal views
broke the law
discriminated?
i have to ask because some readers are having a problem understanding the differences between them. i am not trying to provide cover for anyone i was only hoping people would see that although similar, they are not the same issue

They refuse to understand basics about the American justice system. And are only repeating the same disproved rhetoric over and over again because they lost, and their only chance of victory, in their mind, is to just repeat the same old debunked talking points over and over.

NO
Davis refused to issue ALL marriage licenses for everyone, because of her views, and made NO exceptions. thus violating peoples rights to access services from the state.
Parker refused to issue ALL marriage licenses because of her views, but made accommodations to allow the couple to still get married.
The other reason is Parker is a Judge, that has the legal authority to recuse themselves. Davis does not hold those powers.

They're both using government-held positions as platforms for personal/religious agendas.

That's the way Libs get their way. If they can't pass a law in their favor they go to the courts until a Liberal judge is found that will rule like they want. If that don't work then they sue you until your bankrupt. It's just like the school systems and city governments wanting prayer. Some hater thinks it wrong that you pray and they'll sue you. Most people can't afford it so they just roll over and let the whiners have their way.

Top Soil | Posted 5:03 pm, 09/08/2015 | Mommotwo (view profile) | Posted 4:51 pm, 09/08/2015 | If you are going to say that Davis should find a new job, then you really have to say that Parker should find a new job. Unless you are so blinded that you really can only see one side and all..... |
Thats not how our justice system works. Parker, is a judge, Davis was a government official charged with upholding the laws. Judges trump clerks. |
ummm ignorant much, judges are government officials also
.You know what hierarchy means? what about chain-of-command. State judges have authority over a county clerk.
yeahhh...and they all are government officials who answer to the same employer, us. Or, it used to be us, now it is self important social justice warriors who seek to advance their causes by circumventing the laws voted on by the democratic process. Majority said no, and minority said I don't like the majority opinion, I'll do it my way and to **** with the voters opinion. People are sick of it, and it is going to show next election. I wonder how President Obama will like watching his successor undo every executive order he wrote? What one person can do, the next can undo.

for those that choose to be informed on the issue of judge parker, please do simple research at you will easily find out that performing marriages was discretionary to her and any other judge in her postion
issuing marriage licenses is NOT discretionary to the county clerks office

Topsoil ye ol go Wilkes Christian bashing bully, there is no difference than this judge refusing to do her job due to her belief as Davis. The difference is the judge is openly gay and that fits your agenda where as the Christian does not. I have seen Christians put down ran through the mud for their belief by you and others on here daily now call this judge out like you would a Christian fair is fair right ? Oh I forgot you can't do that because you think your wiser than God and you have it all figured out.
