CAPITAL LETTERS make you important.
Either practice civil disobedience because you feel a law is unjust and pay the price, or change the law. As someone suggested, if the state just got out of the marriage license business, there would be nothing to give out. Otherwise, ignore federal law at your own peril, as many have done in the past.
see my post. going to figure out how to go about it tomorrow.
Which law? Can't point to a law?
That's because there is no law. Looks like you are ignoring that.
There is no law to change..

Sorry bigbob, but there is no federal law that she could have broken.
She was enforcing Kentucky law.
Only the State of Kentucky has the authority to legislate on marriage in Kentucky.
She has committed no civil disobedience, since she was acting under the only authority that exists in that state.
If you are pro gay marriage, as your post seems to indicate, you’re headed for the big zot here.

Can you show me where this is law? I believe the lady clerk is correct BTW.
Your reply is the rational one.
There are many legal inaccuracies in this thread that I won’t go into, but the concept that each person decides what is Constitutional and therefore legal, and what is not is simply another description of anarchy.
Secondly, the concept that one’s religious principles override legal ones is also very dangerous. What if someone decided that no one working in her office could eat meat on Friday? If it is argued that we are a Judaeo-Christian country, what if a Jewish office holder, or Christian Seventh Day Adventist, demanded her County office be closed from sundown Friday through sundown Saturday?
Also, there was a much easier legal out here. Governor could simply have removed her from office and made the entire matter moot.
All in all, you are very right. If you feel you are entitled to break the law, be ready to pay the price. We may commend you for it, but you will still be in jail.
