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:

Ban idiots, not guns!

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.

So you admit this was just a political protest, not an actual
hardship.
I still say that as long as she did not issue any marriage licenses at
all, she may have a case, for whatever the motive might be.


Folks who can't or won't follow orders have the options of being fired,
filing a grievance or quitting. Why is the court sticking its nose into
it? The employer and the employee should resolve the situation without
the gubmints interference.

Ms Davis is not an employee, she is an elected official. They can't
fire her and they have little to say about what she does.
She can only be sued, arrested or impeached.
They went with arrested because everything would take months or even
years..

The judge jailed her because he assumed the right-wing bigots who
support her lack of action would simply pay her fine. If she can't do
the job she was elected to do, she should simply resign.
