It seems that Gov. Jindal is confused about the definition of either the word stop or the word stupid.

I think you should be able to keep your job and follow your conscience."
Nope. If your job description, when you signed up for the job, says you will do X, then you do X or you don’t get paid. That’s how it works in the real world, Bobby and Ms. Davis. You don’t get to do your own interpretation.
“I absolutely do believe people have a First Amendment right, a constitutional right. I don’t think the court can take that away,” he said.
So do the people she’s targeting have a First Amendment right, a constitutional right, to their marriage license that her job description says she must issue, with the appropriate documentation. ALL people have the first amendment right. Not just the ones you want to have it.

There is nothing respectable about a conscience which doesn’t compel her to find a job she can do. Bobbi Gin Doll has it wrong as always; everyone always has to choose between their conscience and how to get money.

So, you should keep your job, get paid by the taxpayer and not actually do your job. How does that fall in the whole conservative work ethic ethos? Seems like paying somebody for nothing and government waste to me.

“I don’t think anybody should have to choose between following their conscience, their religious beliefs and giving up their job or facing financial sanctions,”
So, what you’re saying is that if a person has a religious objection to interracial marriage, that person should be able to deny marriage licenses and other services to interracial couples? If a person has a religious objection to Judaism or Islam, that person should be able to deny marriage or other services to couples of faith with which they disapprove? You’d like to overturn the CRA, then?

Hey Genius -
Cantwell vs Connecticut (US Supreme Court, 1940) “The (First) Amendment embraces two concepts – freedom to believe and freedom to act. The first is absolute, but, in the nature of things, the second cannot be. Conduct remains subject to regulation for the protection of society.”
Gee I guess that maybe such a regulation may be even more apparent for elected government officials so they don’t substitute their personal beliefs over the constitution via their actions…

hey Piyush… we are a SECULAR country… we follow the rule of law… it doesn’t give someone the right to discriminate based on their opinion regardless that they wave a bible…
ya know… follow your conscience is fine but if it gets you a punch in the mouth because you say something stupid then you’re allowed to do that… you’re also allowed to live with the consequences of your actions…

Jindal is truly the absolute worst candidate of the whole GOP slate. It is no wonder he has been at the bottom of every poll and that he will again be relegated to the kiddie table debate, and even there he will be outshined by the others.
Question to the media: Why do you continue to give publicity to such a non-factor in the 2016 race?
But she’s obstructing the marriage rights of everybody, just to spite the gay couple without being illegally discriminatory. I can’t even think of a suitably messed up analogy. I was thinking what if Rosa Parks had said there should be no buses, nowhere, for nobody if I can’t sit in front, but that fails because she stood for something admirable.

If Bobby Jindal had lived in VA in the early 1960s (or in several other states in the U.S.), he would have been prohibited by law from marrying a caucasian woman. Many proponents of such anti-miscegenation laws invoked the Bible to justify their position. Supporters of Kim Davis are no different than those bigots. If you want to live in a country where your religious “beliefs” trump Constitutional rights, move somewhere else. The United States is not for you.

Mike , Bobby , who’s next ?
Piyush Jindal graduated from Brown, an Ivy League school, at the age of 20 with Honors. He was accepted at both Harvard Medical and Yale Law, and chose to study at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, I feel ashamed for him, since he appears to have no vestige of shame left.
Jindal: “Hello! I am Piyush Jindal and I wish to get a marriage license.”
Davis: “Git’ tha’ hell outta’ here you filthy Hindu! My Lord and Savior says you’re going to hell and I will not do anything but pray for you.”
Jindal: “Bbbbbbbuuutt…I’m on your side and I’m not a Hi…”
Davis: “I don’t care or want to hear anything you have to say. Throw this dirty pagan outta’ here!” ~guard roughly ushers Piyush out of the courthouse~
Jindal: “Well…she was just practicing her 1st Amendment rights!”
(Jindal is a pandering fraud who would sell his soul to the highest Republican who could help his political career, and only wants to be accepted by a national political party that will forever view him as a token and window dressing.)
Like Mike Fukabee’…Piyush’s blathering here is nothing but an attempt to garner some, any, press attention.
Fck him…with votes of course.

“I don’t think anybody should have to choose between following their conscience, their religious beliefs and giving up their job or facing financial sanctions,”
so if I am opposed to military spending, do I still have to pay taxes? maybe I can prorate my share minus the things I don’t want to pay for?
…and what if I want to institute a caste system like in some places…
