Stephanopoulos Grills Huckabee Over Cries Of Judicial Tyranny
Mike Huckabee, in a desperate attempt to become news (in the foreboding shadow of Trump), announced he will be in Kentucky, this Tuesday, to help protest the incarceration of Kim Davis. The law-breaking clerk is sanctimonious in her assertion that issuing same-sex licenses goes against her deeply held religious beliefs. Her convictions don't include her violations of Biblical law as it pertains to heterosexual marriage, so she's cherry picking as cafeteria Christians are want to do.
On This Week, George Stephanopoulos tried to drag it out of Huck that we are a nation of laws, and this woman, religion or not, is breaking a law by not carrying out her job responsiblities. He repeats an argument he used several times last week.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Governor, thank you for joining us this morning. I know you're going to be going to Kentucky on Tuesday as a part of demonstration and support of Kim Davis.
But there are some dissenting voices in the conservative movement. I wanted you to respond to something from Rod Drayer (ph) in "The American Conservative."
He says that, "The Supreme Court makes a ruling we don't like, we are obliged to obey the law or be willing to suffer the consequences of disobedience. What we cannot do and what the government cannot permit is open defiance of settled law.
