I’m not a lawyer so may be ignorant of some things.
I understand that she appears to be going against the Supreme Court ruling on homosexual marriage.
What I don’t understand is why she is in jail. She has not been convicted of any crime, or officially charged as I understand it. Even if officially charged, the crime is not any sort of violent felony crime. So why exactly is this woman in jail????
The judge said contempt of court I think. The LE officers believed or at least obeyed him.

The Supreme Court does not make laws. They interpret them.
Where in the constitution is gay marriage mentioned?

A Kentucky judge cited her with contempt because she refused to issue ANY marriage license ( not just licenses for gay marriage ).
But think about it... if one really wants to get a marriage license and nothing else, there are many other ways.
Another judge in the county volunteered to issue marriage licenses ( which he is authorized to do so ). Neighboring counties can issue marriage licenses as well. Nobody is inconvenienced, much less gays.
So, We have to understand that this is not about anything but a HUNT AGAINST DEVOUT CHRISTIANS.
Why do you think gays in Colorado and other states INSIST on going to Christian bakers to have their wedding cake baked when there are hundreds of others out there who could do the same job?
It is about FORCING CONFORMITY and using government to PUNISH those who refuse to conform pure and simple.
Our first amendment rights are being discarded right before our very eyes yet many people ( even Presidential candidates ) refuse to see it, much less defend it.
Defiance of the Judge.
