Kim Davis Research Paper

In summary of these, the Obergefell V Hodges has received opposition as well as propositions at different degrees, but the majority of the debaters’ are the proposing side. The main idea here was to legalize the Same-sex marriage which had been prohibited in the previous court rulings (Siegel, 2015). The proposing team was emphasizing on the following factors; the right to personal choices as clarified in the human dignity, the right to intimate association, marriage as a foundation of the American social order and the ability to sustain and safeguard children and families (Siegel, 2015).

This case challenged the rights of marital privacy within the home. In 1961, Griswold and her partner, Dr. Buxton, opened a birth control clinic in New Haven, Connecticut. A law enacted in 1879 made it illegal to use anything to prevent contraception in the state. That’s right, nothing could be used to prevent pregnancy. Consequently due to their actions, Griswold and Buxton were arrested, tried, found guilty, and fined to pay $100. Griswold appealed her conviction to the United States Supreme Court, arguing that the state was in breach of multiple amendments including the fourteenth, first, and of course, the third amendment. The argument based on the third amendment was that the home is and should be a private place. No one is to know what happens in the home, or in the bedroom for that matter. The only way to prove that the women who visited the clinic were actually using birth control would be storm their homes. In the end, it was found that Connecticut's actions were unconstitutional and this court case paved the way for future cases such as the famous Roe vs Wade

Christopher Lyn "Chris" Davis (born March 17, 1986), nicknamed "Crush Davis", is an American professional baseball first baseman who is a free agent. He stands 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) tall and weighs 230 pounds (100 kg). Davis played in Major League Baseball (MLB) with the Texas Rangers from 2008 until being traded to the Baltimore Orioles in 2011, where he remained until the end of the 2015 season. He bats left-handed and throws right-handed. While primarily a first baseman throughout his career, Davis has also played third base, designated hitter, and right field.

I join the opinion of the court in favor of Hodges and offer these accompanying thoughts. In order to determine if the state is required under the Fourteenth Amendment to license a marriage of same sex, we must establish a foundation in regards to marriage and its entitlements. The court argues that marriage “is not a fundamental right,” and with this conclusion, the state is not be required to legally recognize any marriage it does not see fit. Fundamental rights are due strict scrutiny, but issues of liberty interest only require rational basis. There is a significant difference between the two approaches with ‘rational basis’ only requiring that the law be related to a government interest. “Rational basis” review is generally used in cases where fundamental rights are of issue and is thus fitting for this case under these assumptions.” The constitution does not specifically list marriage as a fundamental right in the Bill of Rights or any of its additional amendments and thus leaves ample room for interpretation of is significance. The defense attempts to use the Fourteenth amendment in their defense as it asserts,

　　Judge Steven L. Bunning of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky has ordered Davis to issue marriage licenses, but as of Tuesday, September 1, she continued to defy the Supreme Court Order, claiming she was acting under "God's authority" when she refused to issue the

Robert Davis was an African American man. He was not a “thug,” he was not a “drunk,” he was a retired school teacher from New Orleans who was in his sixties. He was brutally attacked by three police officers. He suffered a broken nose and other broken bones in his face. The incident was recorded and went viral. Davis was arrested but faced no charges. Three police officers were charged but only two went to trial. In the end, two of the police officers were fired — the third never made it to trial because he had committed suicide. Davis was compensated for the assault.

The counter-argument gave by Justice Harry L. Carrico: “argued that the Lovings' case was not a violation of the Equal Protection Clause because both the white and the non-white spouse were punished equally for the crime of miscegenation” was lacked of insight and proper thoughts, it’s not about both getting the same sentence because they violated the inter-racial marriage law, it’s about why we even have that law in the first place. Just like what Chief Justice Earl Warren said:” the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual, and cannot be infringed by the State.”, God has created us with a hope that we can love and treasure all of his creation,

County Clerk Kim Davis, of Rowan County, Kentucky, is in a difficult situation because she refuses to issue marriage licenses to homosexual couples. Herbert W. Titus and William J. Olson have written an article about why they think she is doing the right thing not just religiously, but Constitutionally as well. They outline the reasons why the stand she is taking is her only option as a Christian and as an elected official of the United States.

Living life to the fullest is how Shelby Davis would express her life. She lives for every minute of the day and continues to do that still. Shelby expresses her life through her daily activities and through love. Shelby loves what she does in life and is continuing to let her work grow amongst people.

Davis is one of the few clerks across the country to deny gay marriage licenses after the Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage in June. However, Davis is one of the first to be sued even as her attorneys vowed to keep fighting the legal battle in the face of strong resistance from experts likening the issue to interracial marriage five decades ago.

Though I agree with her right to express it. I just don’t believe her personal prejudices should be brought into her work for the state government. I also agree with the court to telling her she must grant marriage licenses to same sex couples. While I agree private business has the right to decide since they are not being funded by tax payers’ money and people have the ability to find other options when a private business does not agree with their morals. But when it is a government official, the public has less options. Whether or not she agrees, she has to follow the

In the 17, almost 18 years that I’ve been alive, I have been extremely blessed in the fact that I’ve never lost a blood relative that was very close to me. However, I have lost a person that was especially close to my family and I. Terry Wayne Davis was a neighbor of mine all my life. Our families are extremely close to one another. I often hear people grieving about how they once lost a relative that they grew up with or someone who was in the family that meant the world to them. However, there are moments when I believe that you can be as close to a friend as a blood relative. That happened to be who Terry was to me. Terry played a significant role in my life because of three main reasons.

Similar to the religious and folk music discussed in the previous chapters, jazz was born from musical diversity ‒ it came from multiple sources. As diverse as its musical background was, the audience was even more distinct; this genre of music requires a high degree of musicianship, appreciation of what jazz is, and recognition of its power to communicate feelings (Willoughby). Many artists and bands have risen over the years, and they have often transcended the sub-genres of jazz music. After researching various artists and listening to their music, it was difficult to choose just one favorite artist. However, if I had to choose one, I would choose Miles Davis. His music, in addition to his contributions to jazz, makes him one of the, if

After I read my article, I came to the conclusion that in some cases, the reason that human rights are violated is because a certain aspect of the case goes against someone's religion or beliefs. In this case, the right to marry without limitations was violated because Kim Davis did not want her name associated with something that went against her christian beliefs. God’s definition of marriage falls under the idea that only a man and a women have the capability of true love, and being united as one. So when faced with a situation where Kim was required to give out a same sex marriage license, she wrongfully denied to issue it, because it went against her beliefs. One question I have after I read this article was, if Kim Davis denied the right
