Liberal civil disobedience good.
Conservative civil disobedience bad.

I think I saw that on the side of a barn somewhere.

He can hold her until she complies with his order. But, with elections and her determination....she might actually be re-elected into office, and continue to sit in a jail.

I think there is a problem with selective enforcement if the judge refused to jail the son for contempt also.

I want to know how many clerks were jailed for issuing licenses to the gays, before it was legal.

A be dissed, yo! Isn’t that’s what effectively is happening here?

Fed judges attempting to write State Law using SCoTUS’ ruling (re-writing Laws is their ‘forte’ no? See O’Care, State exchanges, Kelo...) and jailing anyone that dares stand up to their power grab/illegality.

Any word yet??
D.C. GOP ‘leadership’??
RNC?
State Govonor?
State Reps?
Sheriff?

Yet, I lay this firmly @ the feet of Congress; after DoMA, they could have told SCoTUS to F* off....but instead did what they usually do: NOTHING of importance.

It sounds like its within her rights not to sign, and only impeachment can fire her, and that ain’t in the cards.

Making her a Martyr is stupid.

Forcing others who come to her office to bow to her religious convictions is no different than a Muslim holding a similar office who would not issue licenses to a Christian because they were not following Sharia law.

There is no requirement in US law that says one must agree with a particular religious viewpoint in order to get a marriage license.

We could always waterboard her until she acquiesces. Doesn’t seem to be any legal problems getting in the way of that.

I assume they’ll use a stamp with her name, but without her authorization, doesn’t sound like it’ll be legal. I hope her son gets to tell the homosexuals that show up for their mirage license.

“Another judge in the county volunteered to issue marriage licenses ( which he is authorized to do so.”

You’re kidding. Homosexuals don’t even have to drive, or take a bus, to the next county? You’re right: this is a Gaystapo attack on Christians. Next, they’ll target the Torah and Bible.

A judge in her county said he’d issue marriage licenses, so she’s not forcing anyone to “bow to her religious convictions.”

>>A judge can deem things illegal or such...but he can’t write law

You haven’t been paying attention for the last 45 or so year, have you?

This is the first federal judge that should be impeached when Congress returns to D.C. Justice Kennedy is the second.
