Fox Panel Condemns Kim Davis, Calls Her Lawyer 'Ridiculously Stupid'


Fox pundits offered a surprisingly strong condemnation of Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis and her lawyer, Mat Staver, on Monday’s edition of “Happening Now.”

Host Gregg Jarrett asked two legal experts whether the Rowan County clerk's religious beliefs allowed her to defy court orders to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. All three talking heads insisted Davis’ claim undermined the authority of federal law.

“When she took the job she swore to uphold the law,” Jarrett said. “We rely on government officials to do that. They can’t just pick and choose what laws they like and which ones they don’t. If they were allowed to do that, wouldn’t that lead to chaos, anarchy and so forth?”

Trial attorney Chip Merlin concurred, saying Davis may believe gay marriage is “immoral” but has “an obligation to uphold other people’s constitutional rights.”

Criminal defense attorney Sharon Liko was similarly dismissive, calling Davis “a hypocrite” who is “applying for the job of martyr.”

Liko rejected Davis’ attorney’s suggestion that the Supreme Court lacked the constitutional authority to enforce gay marriage—a claim that GOP presidential candidates such as Mike Huckabee and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) have endorsed.

“It’s just a ridiculously stupid statement,” Liko said. “The Supreme Court does just that. They determine the constitutionality of issues; they resolve these kinds of disputes.”

"Applying for the job of martyr"
I like that one


That's how I have seen her, also

She's being selective.
Being a court clerk she would also have to stamp/seal/notarize divorce decrees.
Where is her Biblical faith in regards to "no fault" divorce?

It is like if a Muslim clerk refused drivers licenses to women for religious reasons

Yo, first off? It`s nice to know you "Mini Socialist" likes "Fair and Balanced" News? Second, the Host`s on Fox News have no idea what the Constitution says! Hope I answered your post?

There comes a point when facts and the truth can no longer be denied by conservative lies and rhetoric devoid of both.

If you agree with a law you obey it but if you don't you ignore it just ain't the way it goes.
Fulfill the duties of office, laws, rules, etc. or seek work elsewhere.

It's true, maybe Fox is going overboard on this "fair and balanced" business. One of the Fox babes compared Mrs. Davis's stand against sodomite unions to some convoluted example of a Lutheran denying drivers licenses to Catholics. She doubled down and used a Muslem in the same ridiculous scenario. The fact is that it ain't about drivers licenses, it's about sodomy and sodomy goes back to the Bible as an affront to Christian beliefs. It's a strong issue that the babes just don't seem to get.

My buddy Judge Alex was on 'outnumbered' today and I had to work. But I told him that if he explains the law to those dopes they may stone him.

Freedom and liberty people give it away one bit at a time. Eventually its history and it sure looks pretty ominous of what will be ruling over the masses in the next fifty years.
