Idiot Texas County Clerk Lady Issues Declaration About How Good She Hates The Gays


hooray

Thank goodness brave Texas bigots haven’t been shuttled off to the rainbow FEMA camps, so they can save the Republic from the santorum-drenched sodomite hordes. Molly Criner, county clerk for Irion County, issued a DECLARATION OF OBEDIENCE TO LAW AND THE DEFENSE OF NATURAL MARRIAGE (her words), and before anyone even had the chance to say boo, the sterling fellows at Liberty Counsel stepped up to the plate to defend her rights to legally break the law. Aw, what a charming little political stunt. Sorry, I mean political stunt. Political stunt! Excuse me, I must have something caught in my throat.

Criner issued her declaration (conveniently cross-posted to Liberty University’s website) over the Fourth Of July weekend, and in it she lays out exactly why a dog-catcher-level bean counter like her has the authority to defy the US Supreme Court. And look, she uses about a bajillion whereas-es, just like a real bureaucrat!
Whereas, the County Clerks of Texas are tasked with upholding the Constitution and Laws of the State of Texas and the written United States Constitution; and

. . . .


Was there a day of civics class we missed where the Declaration of Independence, i.e. America’s most famous Dear John letter, had any authority when it comes to the law? No? And if it did, how exactly would a county clerk’s “pursuit of happiness” beat out Dan and Stan’s pursuit of happiness? Eh, doesn’t matter, it’s all just so much word-shaped noise.
. . . . .



In a statement, Liberty Counsel assured us that they have Molly’s back (not that way, you pervs) so don’t you think none about suing her (please sue her):
“Like Molly, each of us should vow not to be intimidated but, instead, to stand united for our God-given liberties and the Rule of Law,” Staver advised.
“Respecting the Rule of Law by explicitly breaking the law” — makes a pretty great slogan for Liberty Counsel, doesn’t it?

1. It is tough living in Texas at times

[niyad]

2. you have my deepest sympathies.

[shenmue]

3. Maybe we can foot you some $ for a plane ticket

Or do you prefer a train, or bus?

[Skittles]

12. yes

I swear, Texas never misses an opportunity to embarrass America

[Jester Messiah]

4. Is Liberty Counsel footing the bill, or is this just moral support?

Because otherwise I've got a feeling she'll fold like a cheap suit when she finds out that she doesn't get a court-appointed lawyer for a civil action, AND the people suing her will most certainly include the cost of their counsel in the damages.

[niyad]

5. it wasn't clear, but should prove entertaining.

[Jester Messiah]

6. Definitely.

Even LC's resources are finite, no matter how deep their pockets may be. How much money do they really want to throw on the bonfire of a lost cause?

[GreatGazoo]

7. I hope the next time she needs her driver's license renewed there is an Amish guy behind

the counter who can lecture her on how Natural Transportation is one horse and one buggy.

[niyad]

9. excellent!

[Initech]

8. Whatever happened to "do unto others"? I thought Christians believed in that sort of thing?

[niyad]

10. but, she wouldn't be asking for a license for same-sex marriage, because she is so pure and

rigthteous.

[hobbit709]

11. Most of what they believe seems to come from the old testament.

[Betty Karlson]

13. Christians do indeed. "Christians" not so much. eom

[davidpdx]

14. The problem with these threads is there are so many of the wackjob Christian county clerks

That it is nearly impossible to keep who's who straight. Can't we start giving them numbers or nicknames to keep them straight (no pun intended)?

It is terrible, but seriously cracking me up that there are so many of them.

[niyad]

15. I agree that it is hard to keep track of them correctly. they should all have to wear

numbers.
