Nah, that's more of character assassination.  There's really only 1 good argument.  She was elected by the people to enforce the rule of law of the State/Federal Government.  She has failed to do that, and has refused to comply with the order of a Federal Judge, and is now wasting taxpayer dollars.  It's the only argument that matters, your God(s), has no place in this decision, and she's in jail because she thought otherwise.

At least you acknoledge that his argument was bogus. Very good and refreshing.

However, your faith in law is just as poor as his argument, because laws change all the time. As for God not mattering, God mattered very much for causes in the past such as the influence of Martin Luther King jr. and many LGBT people are fervent believers and they fight for their rights in God's name.

This fight for rights is what leads to laws. However, it still doesn't make it good or bad because good and bad is not defined by an opinion. It's absolute, much like the laws of the universe we live in. Morality is absolute and is dictated by the creator, hence the importance of God.

Sorry, I don't believe in your God, and I would not want anything to do with a celestial dictator, even if such a being were to be proven to exist.  For an absurdly lengthy amount of reasons, I will not go into here.

Also, US Law, doesn't care about your God, either,  It has no power here (and really, has no power anywhere, but...not really the point), if you wish to live in a theocracy, where such things are a reality, there are still plenty of them worldwide.  But the US, is not among them.  You can choose to force your views on others, and be jailed, or fined or whatever.  Or you can learn to control your own life, and let others control theirs.

Also, Marriage (or some form thereof), pre-dates every currently existing religion.  So, you can't lay claim to that, either.

PS.  Just so we're clear here, maybe you don't realize this, but a very major part of the reason for people leaving England and murdering millions of Native American's (a whole other issue), was to escape the Church's influence in England, and to create a place where people of all faiths could co-exist.  Not to create another theocracy where the wishes of the religious majority (or minority) would overrule another persons rights.
