I admire what Kim Davis is doing, but her case is weak. Unlike a baker or a photographer, she has willingly chosen to become a public official, part of the government. She is basing her argument on religious freedom, which is not relevant to this situation.

Davis ought to be basing her case on the rights of officials of the Commonwealth of Kentucky to be subject to the duly enacted laws of Kentucky under the protection of the 10th amendment to the US Constitution.

She was elected, not hired. Her case is not weak.

You don't fire elected officials elected, in part, for her religious beliefs.

What you have essentially just said is that Christians are now ineligible to hold certain public offices.

Why not use both the 1st and 10th amendments in her defense.
