Kim Davis, the defiant Kentucky county clerk, was found in contempt of

would be enough to compel her to follow the law.

Her office refused to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple as
recently as Thursday morning, before Davis and her staff closed the
office made the half-hour trip from Morehead to Ashland.

I question why a Federal Court. Should be a state issue.


Perhaps state law hasn't caught up with the Supreme Court, such as in this case:

I saw the video, they were just out looking to offend and put someone in
