The U.S. Supreme Court made same sex marriage a civil right when it handed down its ruling. It will take an amendment or the Court overturning its own, recent decision to change that law. I don't see either happening in the near future, do you? Ms. Kim did not argue that she was following Kentucky law in refusing to issue the marriage license. She claimed religious freedom. Following Kentucky law became moot with the SC ruling. In this case, Federal law wins, whether we like it or not.

It really is time for y'all to suck it up, hitch up your big boy panties and accept that the law of this land allows same sex marriages, just as black-white marriages and integration are the law today.

Ms. Kim had options. She could have resigned. She could have had another clerk issue the license. Instead, she went the route of refusal and publicity. I'm surprised she didn't try to block the courthouse door.
