Judge Orders Kim Davis To Jail- But His Order Was Against the Law

Furthermore, if we are to have a “rule of law,” then must stop judicial legislation and let the laws that rule us come from our representatives, not as edicts from a “judge.”

I think people are missing the point. The judge ruled what outcome he wanted ... he did NOT rewrite the law -— and that is a serious problem for the judge.

Kim Davis should have simply asked the question: “You say I should follow the law. Fine. What exactly is the law I should follow? There are 5 sections of the Kentucky Code that deal with marriage. You have said they are unconstitutional because it does not give you the result you want. Does that mean that you are declaring that Kentucky currently has NO LAW for marriage? If so, I am not required to do anything, so I am in compliance with the law.

If the entire marriage code is not void, then exactly what is the law? Have you rewritten the Kentucky code so it satisfies your ruling? If not, how can I possibly agree to enforce it. If so, where is a copy of that law, and your authority to insert it into the Kentucky code which by the Constitution of Kentucky is the sole responsibility of the Kentucky Legislature and the Governor of Kentucky.

If you have a problem with Kentucky laws governing marriage, you should hold the Kentucky Legislature and the Governor in contempt, not me -— I am just following the Kentucky code as written

So, you want me to follow the law? Show me the law you want me to follow. Until then, by definition, I am in compliance, not in contempt.”

That should get Kim off the hook. Then, the Federal Judge either backs down, or will actually order the Kentucky Legislature to revise their code (in which case I will buy lots of popcorn.)

We need no morality lessons from the Left and certainly not from homos.

That we don't. It's just a means to try and silence us.
