Reason Can't Reason: The Imposition of Veiws

I can't even read this blather, but the headline displays the obtuseness:

Kim Davis Has No Right to Impose Her View of Marriage on Others

We know the view of marriage when the Constitution was made was more similar to Kim Davis's than whatever the hell Reason thinks it is.

We know the Constitution leaves the matter of marriage to the states, and that the state of Kentucky's laws are more similar to Kim Davis's than whatever the hell Reason thinks it is.

We know Kim Davis's decisions exist in a small sphere, a tiny jurisdiction, and aren't imposed on three hundred million people.

Stop being idiots, Reason. The Supreme Court acted unconstitutionally, and without scope. They should be impeached and/or resisted at every level and stage of government. States should nullify. Legislatures should end government licensing of marriage.

This poor woman isn't telegenic, nor does she understand how to even argue her cause from a legal perspective. I actually don't think that matters, because we should be caring for people like her.

Frankly, I don't like it when people like Cruz paint her as a Christian martyr- she is, because if she weren't Christian she wouldn't resist, but the larger point is she is doing her job correctly. In other words, she is competent in her office, whereas this tendency to place her actions under the aegis of personal faith gives an impression that she is not.
