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.
Just fire that woman.
She's a clown and completely unprofessional.
Can't be fired....she is an elected official and most likely will not be recalled because most of her constituents support her Christian faith over the deviate gay craplola!
Gay marriage is wrong!
But, she can be jailed. Way to go court!
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.
Just fire that woman.
She's a clown and completely unprofessional.
More power to her for standing up for her Faith and her beliefs!

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.
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.
She's a hypocritical adulterer who has no moral grounds to judge anyone.

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.
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.
Calling people idiots who believe in God, does not play well.

We are not a theocracy. You have a job to do, and you refused to do so. See ya later. The bigots now have a martyr [/FONT][/COLOR]

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."
Religious liberty is being assaulted...daily! Calling people idiots who believe in God, does not play well.
can't fire someone over their religious beliefs it is against the law and discrimination.
