WATCH: Dick and Liz Cheney school conservative host on why Kim Davis has ‘obligation’ to serve gays

-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.

“It’s the law of the land and as a general proposition, it seems to me you’ve 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 Malzberg’s logic.

“As my dad said, it is the law of the land,” the younger Cheney noted. “The court has ruled. And she’s not an employee of a church or synagogue, she’s a government employee. So, she has an obligation to uphold the law.”

Not the Cheneys, the interviewer.

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.

They are authoritarians. What they are not saying is that once you become President, you make your own laws when it comes to national security. And those laws are to be followed without any questioning.
