Kim Davis, the defiant Kentucky county clerk, was found in contempt of
court and taken into federal custody.

U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning ordered Davis, the Rowan County
clerk, to be jailed on the contempt charges until she agrees to comply
with multiple court orders to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

The judge ordered her held indefinitely because he did not believe fines
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
jail for their own amusement. Intolerance is after all the core of the
gay rights movement..

I noticed that the news did not show any pictures of the straight
couples who could not get a license there. I suppose they just drove
15 miles down the road to the next county seat.

Because the clerk in their county refused to do her job, and keep her
damned religion out of it.

They keep ignoring the fact that she wasn't issuing ANY marriage
licenses. It wasn't discrimination but it may have been illegal if the
Kentucky law REQUIRES county clerks to issue them.
