Davis’s Lawyer Won’t Answer If Christian Clerks Can Refuse To Issue Divorces

Mat Staver, asked by Chris Hayes if it would be fine for Christian clerks not to offer divorce certificates, ducked the question.
“Mr. Staver,” Hayes said after Staver repeated himself. “No-fault divorce is perhaps the most radical change to marriage that has happened in centuries. And there were many people, including the pope, who said so when it was introduced, OK?”
Staver continued ducking the question, instead saying that the only thing his client was asking for was to remove her name and authority from any license concerning same-sex couples.
“She can file it, she can issue it,” he said. “That’s a simple accommodation, and that’s very easy to do.”
