As reported by The New Civil Rights Movement, Faux Noise legal experts agree. Great video at the link if you can stand to watch Faux Noise.

Fox News Legal Panel: Kim Davis' Attorney's Defense Is 'Stunningly Obtuse' And 'Ridiculously Stupid'

Chip Merlin told Fox News' "Happening Now" host Gregg Jarrett that Davis' chances of winning an appeal are "pretty slim, almost none."

Jarrett noted that Davis "can still practice her faith, just not on the job in a way that interferes with the legal rights of the citizens she serves. And in fact, the U.S. Supreme Court said so nine years ago."

And he quoted the 2006 SCOTUS ruling in Garcetti v. Ceballos: "When a citizen enters government service, the citizen by necessity must accept certain limitations on his or her freedom."

Jarrett then played a clip of Davis' attorney, Mat Staver, saying it is "questionable" whether the Supreme Court has the "constitutional authority" to rule that same-sex couples have a right to marry.

Calling Staver's statement "stunningly obtuse," the incredulous Fox New host explained how the law works.

"Whether the Supreme Court has constitutional authority?" Jarrett repeated. "Article III Section 2 of the Constitution gives the Supreme Court constitutional authority to decide constitutional issues!"
