A Kentucky county clerk, Kim Davis, was taken into custody today after a judge found her in contempt of court for her refusal to issue same-sex marriage licenses.U.S. District Judge David Bunning ruled against the Rowan County clerk before deputy marshals removed her from the courtroom.
Bunning said Davis could be released if she complies with the order to resume issuing licenses. She has refused to issue marriage licenses to anyone, arguing that such a move was a way around discriminating against same-sex couples.

Good for her, for standing up to those deviate dopes!

Civil disobedience MUST be taken, to make a point that 3% of the population must stop bullying and coercing the other 97%!

She believes that God's law comes before man's law! I agree......and the Constitution was founded on Christian principles.

She broke the law, jail seems pretty extreme but whatever. I admire her conviction, even if her actions are pretty ignorant.

The secular-left will see it as bigotry being opposed and the evil haters "getting what they deserve" while the Christian-right will see it as martyrdom and proof that religious liberty is being assaulted. Just fuel for the fire by idiots on either end of the spectrum.

Well if shes following "gods law" im pretty sure she should be stoned by now for her multiple divorces... Also, from the "word of God": Romans 13-1, "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God."

Im a member of the "secular left" and I think jail is pretty ridiculous. I think she should be fined over and over again until she either steps down or starts issuing licenses.

I should clarify by saying "some" for either side. I just think it all fuels fire into hysterics at this point. I think she should be impeached and forcibly tossed out of her position.

Re: Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis in Custody for Contempt of Court Over Same-Sex Marriage

This will only make her the martyr she wants to be. The pressure should be put on the legislature to recall her. She doesn't belong in jail, she belongs in a different job.

Which church does she belong to? Does that church condone divorce? Were the divorces due to spousal infidelity? Did she find her faith after a couple of troubled marriages? You assume quite a bit.

well technically she doesn't have to issue the licenses herself. however she cant' stop everyone from doing it.
she can only religiously protest for her she can't force other people.

if she doesn't want to sign or pass them out then that is her right and the government can't force her to do it.
however someone else can. that is what got her in trouble.

I would have sever issues with this if it was just her not passing them out and she got thrown in jail that would be a violation of the law.
however she won't let anyone pass them out which is against the law.

Got a link to that?

Religious liberty is being assaulted...daily! Calling people idiots who believe in God, does not play well.

The Constitution established a secular government. She can believe that god's law comes before man's, she just cannot use the power of government to enforce it ocer the free and lawful exercise of rights. That would be theocracy, and theocracy is dumb.

Kim Davis Ordered Jailed in Kentucky Gay Marriage Dispute

ASHLAND, Ky. — A federal judge here on Thursday ordered a Kentucky clerk jailed for contempt of court because of her refusal to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

The clerk, Kim Davis of Rowan County, was ordered incarcerated after a hearing here before Judge David L. Bunning of Federal District Court. The contempt finding was another legal defeat for Ms. Davis, who has argued that she should not be forced to issue licenses that conflict with her religious beliefs. “The court cannot condone the willful disobedience of its lawfully issued order,” Judge Bunning said. “If you give people the opportunity to choose which orders they follow, that’s what potentially causes problems.” Judge Bunning said Ms. Davis would be released once she agreed to comply with his order and issue the marriage licenses.

this is what happens when you choose to be a criminal, break muiltiple the law, **** on the rights of others and violate court orders

People are not idiots for believing in gods. People are idiots for trying to use the power of government to enforce their interpretation of their god's rules over everyone else.

Democracy over Theocracy.

It seems the judge is pretty serious, going above the requested relief in the suit:

"The ACLU had asked that she be fined but the judge said he didn’t believe that was enough to force her into action."

Now, it's time to get someone pro temp in her vacated office, since she obviously can't perform her duties behind bars (as if she would outside, either?)

Civil disobedience is fine - if you're a civilian.

What she's doing is official misconduct.

We expect more from our government employees, whether they be a soldier, police officer, clerk, etc. We expect them to do the lawful work of the people and uphold their oath to the country, the law, and the constitution.

If she can't support the American Constitution, she should take a hike.

Religious liberty is being assaulted...daily! Calling people idiots who believe in God, does not play well.

I think lawsuits against private businesses denying their personal services on religious convictions are cases of religious liberty being assaulted. But in a government position one should follow the laws. When it comes to public officials and representatives of the government their religious beliefs shouldn't trump their legal duty to the point where people are being denied what they are legally entitled to. I could understand special protection saying an individual employee could defer an action to another employee that doesn't have an objection, but to deny service and make it impossible for someone to obtain what they are legally allowed to have shouldn't be allowed.

Re: Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis in Custody for Contempt of Court Over Same-Sex Marriage

can't fire someone over their religious beliefs it is against the law and discrimination.

This isn't firing someone because they have religious beliefs. If your beliefs conflict with your job, you can't do your job, then you can be fired. Very, very simple.
