The battle is joined. Ms. Davis is heroic in defense of religious liberty.
The Lessons of Athens
Those who took up arms in Athens, Tennessee, wanted honest elections, a cornerstone of our constitutional order. They had repeatedly tried to get federal or state election monitors and had used armed force so as to minimize harm to the law-breakers, showing little malice to the defeated law-breakers. They restored lawful government.
The Battle of Athens clearly shows how Americans can and should lawfully use armed force and also shows why the rule of law requires unrestricted access to firearms and how civilians with military-type firearms can beat the forces of government gone bad.
Dictators believe that public order is more important than the rule of law. However, Americans reject this idea. Brutal political repression is lethal to many. An individual criminal can harm only a handful of people, but governments can brutalize thousands or millions.
Law-abiding McMinn County residents won the Battle of Athens because they were not hamstrung by “gun control.” They showed us when citizens can and should use armed force to support the rule of law.
It is about Time!!
WHAT? A Facebook link to Fox News???? WTF?
Jailed?
So a state or federal employee who refuses to perform job function X can be jailed, instead of simply fired?
I don’t understand why fines or other sanctions were not applied instead of the draconian measure of imprisonment.
I’m waiting for them to jail the mayors of “sanctuary cities” for failing to uphold federal law.
But I’m not holding my breath.
Tweet: the deputy clerks have been given counsel and have to appear at 1:45 PM. Could face jail or fines....
I’m going to make a rare exception and repeat something I just said elsewhere.
She will not be the last. We will all get to choose between crossing the line we said we wouldn’t cross, or paying a price. Maybe losing a job, or a business, or custody of a child. Or, as in this case, face jail time.
When we choose to stand firm, if we do, we will probably find ourselves standing pretty much alone. Don’t be surprised when it happens.
Wake up. Its game on.
BREAKING: [Clerk Kim] Davis held in contempt taken by U.S. Marshals.
There is no law in Kentucky that allows for gay marriage.
Period.
And a Supreme Court ruling does not make law.
The states have to codify the law.
That has not been done.
This Federal judge as overstepped his bounds.
The governor is a weak willed Dem who won;t do a thing.
It is up to the County Sheriff to blockade the Courthouse until Ms. Davis is released in to his custody.
Right now, the County Sheriff and Ms. Davis are the only ones following the laws of Kentucky.
And Hillary remains free.
If there is a bail set she should not have to pay one dime, if there is any decency left in this country.
“Davis served as her mother’s deputy in the clerk’s office for 27 years before she was elected as a Democrat to succeed her mother in November. Davis’ own son is on the staff.”
This is wrong but this is what she voted for. We predicted things would come to this. I have little sympathy for her. And why did she not quit her job and then try to sue? It would have made more sense.
What this judge is doing is wrong. No doubt about it. And it is scarier than heck. But to be honest. I just can’t work up any “give a da**” for a dem.
Obama declares war on Christian civilization, Round 2.
The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
Acts, Ch 5
It’s midnight in Obama’s America.
Habeus Corpus being filed soon
Sent to jail without a trial?
Even Jesus got a “trial” of some sort.
