I love Bobby Jindal!
I hope that we have finally reached the turning point and that the pendulum will start to swing the other way.
She is not being held for trial. She has been convicted... of contempt of a contemptible court. The judge can keep her there until she caves in and starts issuing homosexual marriage licenses with her signature.
It may well be tenger...
To hear an incredible cacophony of hate, listen to the recording of the vicious, vile, evil crowd of pervs rejoicing at the announcement that a Christian woman is going to jail.
When I heard this on the radio, I was stunned, and could only imagine the crowds at the Roman circus cheering the lions as they shredded the Christians.
May God bless you for standing up to support this victim of demonic persecution and and judicial tyranny. I think too many conservatives do not see where this is heading.
Some of those people just don’t understand. Others don’t want to understand, they are so sufficiently committed to evil.
that is true.
How many of this magnitude will he avoid?
Washington (CNN)Republican front-runner Donald Trump said Friday that he wished a Kentucky county clerk, Kim Davis, was not jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, but he added that the Supreme Court has ruled and it is "the law of the land."
And as i have said, by that rationale one could say he wished Christians were not killed for refusing to convert to Islam, but that it is "the law of the land." Not much hope for Trump being a strong social conservative, or a real Christian. I think this shows one of the weaknesses of Trump, that of a morality that lacks a solid theological basis. Which is why he has shifted on abortion, and is weak against the sodomitic agenda, .
As far back as 2000, Trump was advocating the idea of amending the 1964 Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation
In the same interview, Trump said he favored “a very strong domestic-partnership law” that guaranteed same-sex couples equal legal rights as married, heterosexual couples. Trump also said he believed Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell – the military’s then-ban on openly gay service members – had “clearly failed.”
In his 2000 book, “The America That We Deserve,” Trump outlined his dream of a nation “unencumbered by...discrimination against people based on sexual orientation.” Eleven years later, Trump told CBN’s “The Brody File” that gay people were “tremendous” and that “there can be no discrimination against gays.”
Despite that record of supporting nondiscrimination protections for gay people, however, Trump has angered many LGBT advocates with his consistent opposition to marriage equality and relative silence on transgender rights. - http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/donald-trump-2016s-most-lgbt-friendly-republican
Yes, that is an apt analogy.
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. (Proverbs 12:10)
So if we remembered that then it would make her arrest and imprisonment without even bail justified?
Down South being Democrat is not like in Vermont, though I still find that hard to excuse, as it is hard enough to even be a Republican as a Christian. But she is only a 4 year old believer, and needs to grow more in knowledge.

I LOVE that verse from Proverbs! Thanks, Daniel!
I’ve been looking around, and there are some small limitations..
Another significant contempt statute, often referred to as the federal recalcitrant witness statute, is 28 U.S.C. § 1826. This statute is triggered “[w]henever a witness in any proceeding before or ancillary to any court or grand jury of the United States refuses without just cause shown to testify or provide other information.”103 In cases where the witness so refuses without just cause, the involved court may summarily order the confinement of the witness until such time as the witness changes his or her mind. Although a stubbornly resistant witness may be confined to coerce compliance, the period of confinement may not exceed the term of the grand jury or the life of the court proceeding.104 In no case, however, may this coercive-oriented confinement exceed 18 months105 – creating the possibility that coercive confinement will terminate even in fact of disobedience.106
In addition to this, the court generally cannot impose both a fine and imprisonment.
Thank you for looking into possible limitations and posting it here.
“Our form of government will not survive unless we, as a society, agree to respect the U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions, regardless of our personal opinions,” Bunning wrote last month in his decision ordering Davis to begin issuing marriage licenses. “Davis is certainly free to disagree with the court’s opinion, as many Americans likely do, but that does not excuse her from complying with it. To hold otherwise would set a dangerous precedent.”
SCOTUS is essentially his superior. I would have been very surprised if he went against his boss, his guide, his superior court.
He no judge Roy Moore...there is but one of him...Just one.

Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel, will join supporters at a rally outside the Carter County Detention Center on Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. ET. The “I’m with Kim” Rally is organized by Gov. Mike Huckabee. Liberty Counsel is willing to join any group that stands in support of Kim Davis.
“I visited with Kim today, and she is good spirits,” Staver said. “I went to the jail to encourage her, but she encouraged me! Her opening and closing comment was, ‘All is well!’”
Kim Davis supporters have been calling, emailing, and using social media to ask, “What can I do to help Kim?” Liberty Counsel has already heard from pastors who are sending buses of supporters to the rally on Tuesday. If you are near Kentucky, here is a great opportunity to stand against judicial tyranny and the unlawful imprisonment of Kim. Join us on Tuesday, September 8, at 3:00 p.m.!”
Tues., Sept. 8, 2015 at 3:00 PM ET
Carter County Detention Center
13 Crossbar Road, Grayson, KY
Ask the good judge if the ruling made by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney who stated in part that the black man has no rights that the white man is bound to respect should have been respected regardless of personal opinion.
If I remember correctly, the mess created by that Supreme Court ruling was quite expensive for everyone involved. And the costs are still piling up today, over 150 years later.
