. >> mr. davis, i want to get this clear for the moment.believe that you don't have to treat, according to federal law, that you do not have to treat all applicants for marriage licenses equally? that they should enjoy the same process on marriage licenses? you think that the supreme court did not say that? >> i think that the law of the land as i keep hearing this referred to, i think the law of the land also says that abortion is legal. however, a doctor has the right to say no, i can't perform that. >> a doctor is not a government official. a doctor is not a government official. >> he's an american. >> you are a government official. you have taken an oath to do this job and to observe the laws. >> do you mind if i tell you what sections 36 -- section 26 of the kentucky constitution says this, that to guard against transgression of the high powers which we have delegated, we declare that everything in this bill of rights is accepted out of the general powers of government and shall forever remain in video -- an all laws contrary to this c

mr. davis: thank you, mr. speaker. and i thank the gentleman for yielding. after listening to this debate, i commend president obama and secretary kerry for their leadership in crafting the joint comprehensive plan of plus reached twheep p-5 one nations and iran. i do so because this is a plan which promotes peace and security not war or a continuous threat of war. yes, no agreement is perfect and no agreement will fully satisfy everyone but i can tell you that for me and the constituents of the seventh district of illinois, we say let's give peace a chance. we say, let's support the position of our president. but we also say, let's support the position of our experts. let's support the position of our allies. let's heed the words of the prophets who say come and let us reason together. we shall all be utterly -- or we shall all be utterly destroyed by the edge of the sword. so yes, we say let's support the most rational, the most logical, the most comprehensive, and the most effective path to peace that we know. and yes, it's not about supporting the positi

mrs. davis: thank you. thank you, mr. speaker. after much deliberation and soul searching, i'm convinced that the p5+1 joint comprehensive plan of action creates a viable path to reduce iran's nuclear weapons capability. for that reason, i believe this agreement is in the best interest of the united states. of course the agreement must also be in the best interests of our friends in the middle east. as someone who has lived in israel and has returned many times since, i understand that for israelis and americans with close ties to israel, iran threaten toing -- threatening to wipe israel off the map is not an abstract concern. it has been less than 100 years since the jewish people nearly suffered such a fate. the threat of annihilation is very real. to israelis and it is very real to me. i would never take a vote that i thought could leave my grandchildren a world without a strong, safe israel. mr. speaker, i am under no illusions that this agreement will end iran's ambitions. but i can't allow their destabilizing behavior to hav

mr. davis: thank you, mr. speaker. and thank you to chairman ryan for your leadership on this issue. really appreciate the ways and means committee allowing me, a noncommittee member, to be able to take this important piece of legislation to the floor today. today, this congress has an opportunity to work in a bipartisan way to promote religious liberty and, frankly, mr. speaker, fairness. h.r. 2061, the each act, does this by modestly expanding the religious conscious exemption under the affordable care act to include individuals, like christian scientists, who rely solely on religious methods of healing. the existing religious conscience exemption under the affordable care act exclusively applies, as chairman ryan said, to a few certain sects of faith. as a result, many americans, like i mentioned before, the christian scientists, are required to purchase medical health insurance that does not cover their health care of the -- of their religious practice or choice. alternativively they're forced to pay -- alternative

. >> why should he do that when mrs. davis took the job as county clerk, she promised to uphold the constitution. if she can no longer uphold the constitution, why doesn't she just resign? >> miss davis made an oath to uphold the constitution of the united states and kentucky and kentucky laws. she's doing exactly that. >> she's not. the u.s. supreme court ruled that same-sex marriage is legal. it's a constitutional issue. she's not upholding the constitution if she won't sign marriage licenses for same sex couples. >> the united states supreme court said that states must treat same-sex marriage on the same terms as different sex marriage. but the supreme court has never said who has to issue marriage licenses. the states are free to implement their marriage licensing laws however they see fit. and you see a diversity of laws throughout the states. in north carolina -- >> right now in the state of kentucky mrs. davis is required to sign marriage licenses for all. >> right now in the state of kentucky the law is that religious

. >> we're told by some of the people that received them mrs. davis' name was not on the license. the case or not? if so, what does she plan to do tomorrow? >> the licenses issued were issued without the authority of rowan county and they are not valid. there are criminal laws in kentucky that say if you issue a license to someone that is not authorized by statute that there are criminal penalties for that. kim davis because of the -- [ inaudible ] chose not to issue any licenses. >> joining us is scott white, kentucky attorney and former deputy attorney general for kentucky. so, mr. white, what's the story with these marriage licenses? is there any question as to their legitimacy. >> none at all? they are absolutely legitimate. the office of the county attorneys empowered by the state legislature that issue marriage licenses, there's a statute that says to use a uniform form. it is technicality but not the type folks talk about when they think of smart, clever lawyers to get them out of things. it is a technicality that doesn't have any real meaning. the fact that the deputy cler

keep on keeping on, mrs. davis. dari: thank you. looks like supporters of the iran iran nuclear deal will have the votes needed to prevent an override of a veto. president obama needs 34 votes in the senate to make sure that the gop can't block the agreement. it appears that they've got 33 so far. republicans unanimously oppose the deal which lifts economic sanctions in exchange for iran curbing the nuclear program. >> a group of veterans opposed to deal gathering outside the manhattan offices of senators kirsten gillibrand and chuck schumer. schumer announced his opposition to the deal while senator gillibrand does support it. steve: a cold case has come back to haunt a former pro wrestling star. dari: the criminal charges filed against super fly snooka. steve: from the early '80s. and a pair of serious football injuries put the safety of student athletes in the spotlight. why investigators feel they're mmmm yoplait hello, everybody. milk cow here with an important announcement about how yoplait original now has 25% less of the sug

how our federal judges have to operate and judge bunting ruled as the case was handed down to him mrs. davis had the right to do what she's doing also, how are the issues going to be resolved i don't know. there's a solution to it but it's going to have to be between the state and its people and not the federal governance people because we are a nation of laws and rules and we have judges over us that interpret those rules. and we have to live -- my christian faith says we have to live under those rules. >> let me ask you one question, it may be a bit unfair. if you had been in her shoes faced with that kind of dilemma, what would you have done? >> who knows? if my convictions -- i really don't want -- it's a hard question to answer because i don't want to offend anybody. >> just you personally i'm asking. >> my personal view would be probably i would have stepped down. but that's not to say that miss davis should step down. >> i understand and respect your opinion. mayor, thank you very much for having us in your community. good luck to you. >> thank you. >> ashleigh, i should tell you, it'

i yield mr. davis one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from illinois is recognized for one minute. mr. davis: thank you, my colleague, mrs. blackburn, and thank you to the many colleagues who stood here and stand with me to rise in support of ensuring that hard-earned taxpayer dollars do not go to private entities that are trafficking in fetal baby parts. we have to put a stop to this heinous practice, we have to ensure that this problem is investigated. we have to ensure that the federal government is not condoning these actions. i believe that we need to sure that planned parenthood understands that the money that they have access to from the federal treasury, it's not mandatory that that money is given to that agency. we need to ensure that women's health is a priority, but let's put the tax dollars into the agencies and the community health sents that are are providing access -- centers that are providing access to women's health care every day throughout this great nation. we can do that. let's

what i respect is that mrs. daviss, understanding she is willing to take the risk, associate -- and the consequences associated with acting on her conscience. i don't think the governor would say that this is unamerican or, in fact, something that should be, you know, dismissed as, you know, criminal behavior. >> okay. except that, ken, she took an oath of office as an elected official to carry out the laws. if she has this much conviction, why doesn't she just make a stand by resigning? >> well, but you -- you asked the governor the question earlier, and he, in fact, dismissed this as being political, not the same as what newsome did out in california. well, the fact of the matter is, that was the law of the land. he got out in front of the law of the land. the five justices then, in fact, gave him support. but when he committed that act, it was against his sworn duty to uphold the constitution, because he, in fact, thought the constitution was wrong. so this is not different. the same is the fact that the obama admi

mrs. davis: the same small band within the house majority is demanding another shutdown of the federal government. mr. speaker, we've seen this movie before. in the mid 1990's conservatives shut down the federal government, demanding cuts to medicare, threatening the health care security of seniors. in just -- and just two years ago the government was shut down as conservatives demanded an end to the affordable care act, threatening the health care security of millions of americans. this time, the demand is to end funding for planned parenthood, thretsening the health care security of -- threatening the health care security of millions of women, many of them low income. a recent poll showed that more than seven out of 10 americans want congress to do its job and reach a budget agreement. but like a bad horror franchise, horror movie franchise, the g.o.p. keeps turning out shutdown sequel after shutdown sequel and guess what? the american people don't get to walk out on this sequel. they have to

the staff felt was a problem and met the principles we'll take the supports position i spoke to mr. davisalf put that supports here's the problem while in the passed out of the senate and went to the assembly where assemblyman congressmen part of bio authors it is referred to the rules committee a potential just for this advocacy is needed a good janitorial in the chronicle we're glad we had a press conference about a month ago i was there and board members if former president of the board in berkley and a number of delegates therefore this pun suicidal article came from suicidal article came from them and contra-costa alameda times and the fairy has gotten out into the editorial woorl we're continuing to speak to assemblyman chiu if i want to sign on to the bill we need assembly members to be in support and support to get to out of the rules committee that's it the second they know that took over and was raced the bill that passed out with only one dissenting vote in either house to take away the problem we've tried to solve for our students by modifying our graduation retirements so stu

what is it really that mrs. davis represents? >> well, i think the first thing to say is maybe it's surprising how little resistance of this kind there's actually been since the supreme court decided this. i think a lot of people predicted there would be more resistance. but there are smach patches in conservative states where people are arguing their their religion makes it impossible to follow this law. now as the judge pointed out in kentucky, that's not legal. she's an elected official. she has to do this. the supreme court has already settled this issue. so, you know, i think you are going to see isolated cases like this until people move on. to a certain segment of religious americans, this does resonate what she's do ing. >> the fact you call it isolated is the key aspect here. you have one of the republican candidates, governor mike huckabee, he emceed the event and said, "with i'm not willing to spend the next years in tyranny in under people who think they can take our freedom anden conscience away." the u.s. constituti

mr. davis: thank you, mr. speaker. and i thank the gentleman for yielding. after listening to this debate, i commend president obama and secretary kerry for their leadership in crafting the joint comprehensive plan of plus reached twheep p-5 one nations and iran. i do so because this is a plan which promotes peace and security not war or a continuous threat of war. yes, no agreement is perfect and no agreement will fully satisfy everyone but i can tell you that for me and the constituents of the seventh district of illinois, we say let's give peace a chance. we say, let's support the position of our president. but we also say, let's support the position of our experts. let's support the position of our allies. let's heed the words of the prophets who say come and let us reason together. we shall all be utterly -- or we shall all be utterly destroyed by the edge of the sword. so yes, we say let's support the most rational, the most logical, the most comprehensive, and the most effective path to peace that we know. and yes, it's not about supporting the positi

davis. >> reporter: thank you mr. president. i know you said you dwant to prejudge the next speaker, but i wonder if you could tell us what speaker boehners resignation tells you about the republican party and your ability to work with congress in the remainder of your term? particularly since it's coming at a time when you are trying to negotiate to avert a government shutdown? does this make it easier or harder? and do you think you'll be able to move forward on w the congress on projects like planned parenthood and other issues. and for president xi you have experienced an economic downturn in your country with the stock market crisis, and investors globally have been concerned about some of the actions you have taken to intervene in the stock market. i wonder if you could say what you told president obama or what you can say today to restore confidence that these interventions will not have spillover effects into the global economy in the future. thank you. >> like i said i'm not going to prejudge how i'll be able to work wi
