Discussion: Second Texas Clerk Retires Rather Than Issue Marriage Licenses To Same-Sex Couples

I wonder if she will go out for a shrimp dinner as a consolation after her last day?

No, the wingnut Jesus Brigade sees a very selective group of actions as part of their religion and then usually its the actions of others, not they themselves. Their bible tells them eating shellfish an abomination, yet that never seems to stop them. Their bible tells them that should their brother die childless that they should take his wife and impregnate her…okay not a good example, many of them do this even without the brother dying, but hey, you get the picture.

And what’s with the upper and lower case crap. Does your knuckle-dragging cause you to accidentally hit the shift key?

Not fair, you’re using the term in the sense of the teachings of Jesus type of Christian, those are few and far between these days.

Took the words right out of my mouth

I would assume that printing of forms is outsourced to a third-party printer. There’s a built-in lag to changing forms, and a sudden bulk order can send ripples into the entire supply chain. I read “glitch” as “shortage of toner/paper.” I’ve experienced it first-hand in the healthcare sector when we changed discharge note forms, e.g.

Why the need to print new forms? Why can’t the existing forms suffice until whatever changes they think need to be made are completed?

Not lazy, efficient!

Good riddance! Bigots should not be collecting salaries from the taxpayers.

They think they are so clever! Republi-tard!

Thank you! Potential state/federal employees need to read, AND UNDERSTAND, the Hatch Act!

Of course, they are!

Good, take your religious zealotry, that does not belong in the county clerks office anyway, and stuff it!

Time to go get a job at Sobby Lobby.

Without seeing the forms in current and revised states, I wouldn’t be able to answer that with certainty. But it could be something as simple as a form going into a database for reporting and statistical purposes, where under the current form the husband defaults to male gender and the wife defaults to female. If that’s the case, then a change to the database (and likely to the forms) would be needed to keep from misrepresenting the data. I’m speculating, but that’s the obvious one that comes to mind.

Fair point. But that seems to be an IT data processing back-end issue, and not a form issue as I doubt this county is using an automated OCR system of some sort for such DB entry. But agreed that we are speculating. Just smacks to me of slow-walking it and blaming “bureaucratic glitches”.

Here is a link to a website she should check out if she needs a new job:


Her reasons for quitting her last job should make an excellent character reference.

Good. That’s how it’s supposed to work. If you can’t do the job, don’t. Git!
