-snip-
In an interview with the conservative outlet Newsmax, the former vice president said that he had not studied the details of Davis case but it was clear to him that she had no choice.
Its the law of the land and as a general proposition, it seems to me youve got to go forward with it, Dick Cheney argued.
Newsmax host Steve Malzberg suggested to the Cheneys that forcing Davis to serve LGBT people could be a step toward forcing churches and synagogues to perform same-sex weddings.
But Liz Cheney shot down Malzbergs logic.
As my dad said, it is the law of the land, the younger Cheney noted. The court has ruled. And shes not an employee of a church or synagogue, shes a government employee. So, she has an obligation to uphold the law.

Churches, synagogues, mosques, etc. can do what they damn well please. If they choose to perform same sex weddings, fine. If they choose not to, that's fine, too. That's the whole separation of church and state, you morons.
