Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, a Democrat, will stay in custody.
It was a circus in Ashland today, as media, and protesters on both sides of the Kim Davis controversy came nose-to-nose outside the courthouse.
Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis appeared before U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning at 11:00 this morning, Bunning had her taken into custody finding her in contempt for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples. Bunning told Davis that she would remain in jail until she complied with his order.
Davis said “thank you” and was taken from the courtroom by a U.S. Marshal. Davis was not taken out in handcuffs.
Judge Bunning then called Mrs. Davis’ six deputies into the courtroom, they were told they were free to issue licenses to all applicants while Davis was held in contempt, but if they did not comply they too would face fines or jail time.
Five of the six clerks said they would issue the licenses, the only one to hold out was Mrs. Davis’ son Nathan.
Judge Bunning was not done with Davis though, calling her back into court at 3:30 this afternoon, but Davis did not come. Instead she stayed in custody, her attorney appearing before the judge to tell him that she would not allow any employee to issue licenses in her absence.
Judge Bunning says he will keep Davis in jail for at least a week, and said “I hope that everyone will remain civil. This country has always had disagreements, but what makes this country different from other countries is that we respect the rule of law.”

I do not know if this is in fact true. I hope it is, but I do not know that it is.
Bunning is threatening the deputies with contempt for NOT breaking KY law.
Yes, I know how the Volksgerichtshof works.
He could have a Paul moment, but the way this is turning out I doubt it.
“we respect the rule of law.”
Hahaha! That’s rich.
Its not the law, There is no law here at all. Where is the law by code please that says its legal? Courts cannot make law. That’s only for congress to create laws.
I made some calls.....
This is where she should be. I’m going to guess it’s not be updated....

This Nazi analogy is very correct. This is exactly the sort of things that the Nazis did, only they went much farther. I expect our judges will go farther eventually, but they're not there yet.
I have always believed that our founders were intelligent, moral and possessed wisdom unmatched since this country's inception. But, I'm beginning to think the Supreme Court may be something that needs to be reexamined since it has so easily become apolitical tool.
She’s a rat? Time to leave that party Ms. Davis, it’s the fag party now.
If she were a violent felon or illegal alien she would be out on bail or something
It was an attempt to be civil with you. I see that it appears to have been a mistake.
We’ve replaced representative government with something else.
A defiant county clerk in Kentucky who has refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples says she will not accept a compromise that would have let her out of jail.
Attorneys for gay couples had proposed that Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis be let out of custody if she promised not to interfere with her deputies, but the clerk refused.
The murderer of Kate Steinle:
Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez (or Francisco Sanchez; given name José Inez García Zarate),[13] of Guanajuato, Mexico, had been deported from the U.S. a total of five times, most recently in 2009. He was on probation in Texas during the time of the shooting.[14] He had seven felony convictions. At the time of the shooting, Sanchez was listed as 45 years old by police, but 52 in jail records.[citation needed]....San Francisco did not honor the detainer and released him since they found no active warrant for his arrest
Go ahead and be as uncivil as you want... it tells the story about you, not me!
If Hal Rogers retires (unlikely), I hope she resigns and runs for Congress as a Republican.
That is when everyone should have left the courtroom
UPDATE: Kim Davis stayed in custody and did not return to the courtroom. Her attorney told the judge that she does not authorize any employee to issue licenses in her absence.
Stand with KIm!
Indeed it is a generally not-right thing to be messing around with that party today.
HOWEVER. I humbly submit to a Candid Freepdom that God has just shown that righteousness can transcend even Democrathood.
