Scalia: public servants with religious objections to laws should quit

[hazlnut]

Are you listening, Kim Davis? Scalia thinks public servants with religious objections to laws should quit

“In my view the choice for the judge who believes the death penalty to be immoral is resignation, rather than simply ignoring duly enacted, constitutional laws and sabotaging death penalty cases,” Scalia argued. “He has, after all, taken an oath to apply the laws and has been given no power to supplant them with rules of his own. Of course if he feels strongly enough he can go beyond mere resignation and lead a political campaign to abolish the death penalty — and if that fails, lead a revolution. But rewrite the laws he cannot do.”


Davis' appeal to SCOTUS has already been denied. But interesting nonetheless.

Scalia is the sharpest mind on the court.

How many judges opposed to the death penalty have quit since he said that?

If Muslim insists on wearing a hijab contrary to company dress code that is hailed by libs as "religious freedom." Libs are such hypocrites.
