[quote]Freedom of religion means the state can't establish one or deny your practice therein.[/quote] Exactly, so forcing her to go against it is against the constitution. [quote]Furthermore, while at work she is the state, and denying Christian gays and lesbians the right to practice their religion.[/quote] So your solution Is to force her to do something against her religion? Isn't this unconstitutional? Who's at the state, she is a member of the state but also a living person who beliefs. By forcing her to issue marriage licenses, you're infringing on her right of Freedom of religion. Which is against the constitution...which normally overrules laws.
