The Kern County Clerk Stops Performing ANY weddings.
Ms Barnett claims it is due to budgetary and security concerns around the upcoming elections, that something had to give budget wise. Wedding were the thing to had to go. {cough cough} The timing was a just a coincidence, as is the fact that her expected legal issues will be paid for by a conservative "defense of marriage" group.

I suppose to be properly consistent with her religious beliefs, when she deems it possible to perform weddings at all, she should absolutely refuse to perform any weddings between any couples who are not religious, or for whom children are not possible or not intended. (However, to be properly consistent with her job, she should not impose her beliefs upon the job requirements, hence the need for her trumped-up "excuse"........)
