“Today, judicial lawlessness crossed into
judicial tyranny. Today, for the first time ever, the government
arrested a Christian woman for living according to her faith. This is
wrong. This is not America.
“I stand with Kim Davis. Unequivocally. I
stand with every American that the Obama Administration is trying to
force to chose between honoring his or her faith or complying with a
lawless court decision.
“In dissent, Chief Justice Roberts rightly observed
that the Court’s marriage decision has nothing to do with the
Constitution. Justice Scalia observed that the Court’s decision was so
contrary to law that state and local officials would choose to defy it.
“For every politician — Democrat and Republican — who is tut-tutting
that Davis must resign, they are defending a hypocritical standard.
Where is the call for the mayor of San Francisco to resign for creating a
sanctuary city — resulting in the murder of American citizens by
criminal illegal aliens welcomed by his lawlessness?
“Where is the
call for President Obama to resign for ignoring and defying our
immigration laws, our welfare reform laws, and even his own Obamacare?
“When the mayor of San Francisco and President Obama resign, then we can talk about Kim Davis.
“Those who are persecuting Kim Davis believe that Christians should not
serve in public office. That is the consequence of their position. Or,
if Christians do serve in pubic office, they must disregard their
religious faith–or be sent to jail.
“Kim Davis should not be in
jail. We are a country founded on Judeo-Christian values, founded by
those fleeing religious oppression and seeking a land where we could
worship God and live according to our faith, without being imprisoned
for doing so.
“I call upon every Believer, every Constitutionalist,
every lover of liberty to stand with Kim Davis. Stop the persecution
now.”
