Look I criticize Trump all the time, but he is right. The law is the law. The law sucks, the Supreme Court was wrong, but they've ruled and until we replace the justices (circuit, appeals and SCOTUS) so we get right minded decisions we are going to have to put up with laws we don't like.
Davis is taking a stand. It is one worth taking, but civil disobedience and acts of lawbreaking to stand for something important do come with consequences.
What I hope this will do is remind voters (and perhaps Trump) how important court nominations are and get the candidates to focus on how we can start putting good justices in place if/when we win.

You mean this law the Clerk was supposed to uphold?
Kentucky Revised Statute 402.020:
Other prohibited marriages (1)Marriage is prohibited and void (d)Between members of the same sex. This is the law. Still on the books. I don’t know which law Trump is talking about either. County clerks across the state are in violation of KRS 402.02(1)(d) when/if they issued marriage licenses to same sex couples.
So, what law is the law again?
When Rand Paul endorsed Mitch for the Senate in Kentucky I said at the time that would hurt him badly and it did. When Cruz voted for TPA I said at the time it would hurt him badly and it did. When Newt spoke of legalizing illegals I said he was toast and he was. Trump has just jumped the shark and he is going to be hurt badly by aiding the Marxists and homos in the war on Christians. He's still got time to walk it back but if he doesn't he is going to drop in the polls. Should Carson speak in support of the jailed clerk he will be leading in Iowa in two weeks. It is going to take a little time for all this to sink into the voters heads but once they realize Trump is pro homo and anti Christian in his policies his support will evaporate.
What law was broken? I don't know about a law that says "Do what a judge tells you or go to jail."
Trump should say what you just said. He is sounding like Jeb Bush with the law is the law and we jut need to move on. Those a not fighting words those are surrender words.
