Kim Davis Reveals GOP Support For Sharia Law
For almost seven years now, Republicans and conservatives have accused President Obama and Congressional Democrats of supporting “Sharia Law,” the concept within some quarters of Islam that believes religious law always trumps written law. There’s never been any evidence that Obama or Democrats support this and in fact, they have often supported laws they might not agree with in totality over personal beliefs.
In the case of Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who refuses to do her job in violation of the Constitution, state law and the U.S. Supreme Court, the veil has slipped once again from the right and we see that if anyone supports some sort of Sharia law in America, it is the Republican Party.
The case here is very cut and dry. The Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage in America is constitutional and legal in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. There can be no ban on those unions between legal adults in any state or jurisdiction in the country. You cannot restrict it, at all.
Yet several Republicans running for president, the job entrusted to defend that same Constitution, are backing Kim Davis. And doing so under the most absurd of justifications.
*America exists under a system of laws, not religious edict. Those laws protect the right to worship, but the beliefs of worshippers don’t have precedence over our laws. Several members of the Republican Party’s presidential field, campaigning for a job that is in many ways the chief law enforcement officer for the United States, and who would nominate Justices to serve on the Supreme Court, have come down on the supremacy of religious beliefs over our written rules of law."
