If you don't like America, leave it and go found a religious stateAre you supporting Kim Davis for her faith and for defending the laws of Kentucky?
Preemption
The preemption doctrine derives from the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution which states that the "Constitution and the laws of the United States...shall be the supreme law of the land...anything in the constitutions or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding." This means of course, that any federal law--even a regulation of a federal agency--trumps any conflicting state law.
Wrong, Dante. The Constitution protects Kim Davis's rights to her faith and to defend her faith. She was elected to do that job and took an oath to do it as it was at that time - marriage is between a man and a woman. She has upheld that oath. She was released from jail because her rights were violated. I thank God she stood up for her rights as a Christian. She did the right thing.
omfg! Jeremiah , You are soooo wrong on WHY she was released. Read the court order you silly fool.
Also, she has asked the state for a reasonable accommodation, which cannot by the rules hamper the employer. The state will be sued if they do not force her to do the job she swore an oath to do. She needs an act of the legislature for this. Try and keep up with the facts
You're also dead wrong on what exactly the US Constitution says
I believe she was released because they realized that it was going to backfire on them in a very serious way - and it has. Which is why they are not arresting her again (I believe). Nor do I expect that they will.
