Kim Davis was a GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVE

[NYcarbineer]

I recall a few years ago when clerks and mayors issued marriage licenses to gay couples in violation of the law. They weren't thrown in jail for exercising their personal beliefs.

Accommodations are often made in both the private and public sectors for individual employees' beliefs. Such an accommodation to remove the clerk from the approval of marriage licenses could have been made, or she could have been given the option to resign. Throwing her in jail is an extreme overreaction, especially when contrasted with the wholesale violation of Federal law in regards to immigration we see at the highest levels of the Federal government as well as in "Sanctuary" cities.

Goddam! Who took away her option to resign?

The judge who sentenced her to jail, which was the nuclear option.

Of course hateful morons such as yourself dig it. But the ideological Gulags you build now will ultimately become your resting place.

No he didn't. The SCOTUS ruled in favor of same sex marriage over 2 months ago. She could have resigned any time.

this was a comment from the article I posted on here earlier.

Anti-Christian Bigotry on the Bench and in the Media

thinkwell
Kentucky state marriage law is written throughout with the concept and assumption of valid marriage existing only between one man and one woman. This concept is integrally interwoven in the existing law such that it is not severable. Since the law has been struck down by the SCOTUS (exceeding their Constitutional authority, I might add, but that is another discussion), no valid marriage law currently exist in Kentucky. Until one is created by the state legislature, no marriage licenses can be legally issued.

Kim Davis is only guilty of following the law such as it exists. For this, she was wrongly held in contempt of court by a rouge judge whose contempt holding will likely be overturned on appeal. His actions may even be found to have been illegal (and, by rights, should be considered tantamount to kidknapping or illegal state imprisonment).

She DID infact follow existing local law BUT federal law trumps that. If it doesn't then we have no right to bitch about sanctuary cities

the supreme court can't make laws. so how is this now a Federal law?

It is illegal to discriminate based on sexual orientation is it not?

Here's what they are going to argue and here's where they have their case. Davis was hired and given the ability to marry individuals when the definition of marriage was "between a man and a woman".

I think she could get really rich now. She was thrown in jail without due process.

Oh...you think she has a leg to stand on.....that anyone who has a job and the job description changes...they can refuse to adhere to the changes? On what planet?

Of course you support destroying the lives of Badthinkers. No surprise there.

The judge prevented her from resigning? From what I've read of this case, she could have resigned but chose not to, chose to prevent her employees from giving marriage licenses as well. Is that incorrect? Did she not say, in court, that she was going to continue to make her stand because it was God's will, or something to that effect? Perhaps I have been misled.

You are correct, boedicca as always is wrong.

Is the government the only option to marry homosexuals? What game is this?

Inasmuch as the government requires a license for marriage, yes.

The act of denying a marriage license is a bad act, not a bad thought.

It went all the way up to the Supreme fucking Court. Without due process my ass.

 

[ScienceRocks]

[SwimExpert]

Instead of SENDING HER TO JAIL, the judge could have provided some rational balance and justice by suggesting the option of resigning.

That is not the the judge's role. The judge issued an order, consistent with law. When Davis refused to comply, she became in contempt of court. Davis, and Davis alone, bear responsibility for the outcome.

 

[rdean]

Her job was to serve ALL of her community. All this nonsense about her "individual" rights is nonsensical bullshit.

PRIVATE employers should be able to reserve the right to refuse service for any reason they deem and if the public doesn't like it they can sort it out with their wallets.
Having said that when our government is THE ONLY OPTION for some services they should NEVER have the right to exercise that same choice.

Are you talking about that woman who was married 4 times and had a set of twins out of wedlock?

I wish you loons would apply the same standard of adhering to the law to the Obama Administration.

Who has more power and reach to harm people by disregarding the Rule of Law?

Answer: Obama.

But the point of this law isn't REALLY to ensure the availability of Gay Marriage. It's true purpose is to promote a totalitarian group think fear society which keeps the Unwashed Masses in line and in service to the Ruling Elite.

Scuze moi, but the judge overreacted. Instead of SENDING HER TO JAIL, the judge could have provided some rational balance and justice by suggesting the option of resigning.

Instead, the MOB got to burn another Badthink Witch.

This isn't going to end well for our culture.

You can hear her lawyer here stating that she had no intention of resigning.

Her job was to do ....Her job.
She did not,went into custody and that's what should have happened....

What. The. Fuck.

That was a really fucking stupid post. You know damn well that I don't like Obama. And if you don't, then where the fuck have you been? That aside, what does Obama have to do with anything here? What is your issue? Multiple Personality Disorder? Dumb as Fuck syndrome? Alzheimers? Maybe you've just been coming here too long. You slip closer and closer to the oblivion that has consumed Franco, Irish, and the like. At this point, you're 95% of the way there. It won't be much longer now before you're posts are pure word salad.

Government employees need to follow the law.

she was until the supreme court changed it in the middle of night. . the thing of that is it wasn't even voted in by ALL of them. so why should we have to follow some BS because of A FEW of them. I guess now they have become our Supreme LEADERS.
This whole bs by these lowlifes who pushed it and got her sent to jail, It had something to with the Kentucky State Constitution, you know that THING that we used to have.

what do we need state government for anymore. I'm surprised this was allowed so stand myself.

The only low-life is you. You're so adamant about controlling other people's lives, you are willing to jump through any hoop necessary to rationalize the government standing in the way of peaceful, law abiding citizens exercising rights that are constitutionally protected. You're pathetic, and a perfect example why legalized gay marriage should not be used as an argument to legalize incestuous marriage.

It wasn't in the middle of the night...you lie.

. . the thing of that is it wasn't even voted in by ALL of them.

So you think Supreme Court decisions should only apply if they are unanimous? Yes or No

so why should we have to follow some BS because of A FEW of them.

A MAJORITY of them.....just like when a MAJORITY of people vote someone into office

I guess now they have become our Supreme LEADERS.

No, only one equal branch of government as per the U.S. Constitution.

This whole bs by these lowlifes who pushed it and got her sent to jail,

She was in contempt of the court....what happens to people in contempt? Hint: they go to jail to think about it.

It had something to with the Kentucky State Constitution, you know that THING that we used to have.

What are you talking about? The Kentucky State Constitution is still there.

what do we need state government for anymore. I'm surprised this was allowed so stand myself.

So, you show again and again and again you know nothing about our Federal system of government, our three branches, checks & balances, and the Supreme Law of the Land, the Constitution. I expect it hurts for you to be that stupid.

ran across this. seem about right when we are reading about a citizen being thrown in jail over something like this. We the people: are now the enemy in our own country

The Rise of a New Darkened America



Much has changed in America since the last year... since the last few months and weeks even! The hope and joy that once filled American has turned to great despair and dread concern. We have had many great challenges before in our nation's past but we have never experienced an inward hostile take over of our three branches of government as we have seen of late. The years of leftist preparation and incrementalism have finally paid off and they have seized the power and are now implementing their socialistic secular lawless tyrannical agenda full bore. This present state of helplessness and great concern has now finally engulfed the hearts of those Americans who had once clung onto optimistic appraisals and hopes. They have now finally come to understand that the very hour in which they are now living in is indeed the end of America. Great worry and concern is now found throughout the New Media including Rush Limbaugh and in the conservative movement in general. Optimistic appraisals of our return to our Founder's vision for America are now but a vapor and the reality of our nation's estate have finally set in frightening those who now understand and can see that the implosion (morally and fiscally) of our nation is at hand and lawlessness, tyranny and governmental slavery are at our very door.
