Texas’s Attorney General Ken Paxton has released a letter with guidance that I suspect we will see around the country. The question is whether county clerks, county employees, justices of the peace, etc. must be compelled to issue a license for a gay marriage.

The answer, as it should be, is no dependent on facts. If there are others in the office who can do it, the job can be delegated.
We should be living and letting live. I suspect much of the left will object to this. But they’re still getting their marriage licenses. They’re just not compelling the conscientious objector to do it. As we’re seeing though, there can be no conscientious objectors. You must be made to care.
