Put directly, Kim Davis is acting in defiance of applicable federal law;

And which federal law is that?

Can someone give me a list of all elected officials who have ever been jailed for simply not doing part or all of their job?

I’m still waiting to hear the precedent for this ruling.

Here’s what the guy is caiming:

County clerks like Kim Davis, on the other hand, are not being asked to administer or implement a federal program. To the contrary, issuing marriage licenses is a function of state and local government governed by state law.

Rather, Davis and other county clerks are being ordered to administer their own state and local programs in conformance with the Constitution, as interpreted by federal courts, and the Supremacy Clause provides that state laws must yield when they conflict with federal law.

She is defying a Court, which is something else. The Court says that she is denying the rights of individuals as determined by the Supreme Court. Actually, it is the State sod Kentucky that is not in compliance. They have not changed the duties of the County Clerk to reflect the Court’s decision. They have left it up to the Clerks to handle the matter and she is being punished for exercising her discretion. A reasonable person, would say, contrary to Justice Kennedy’s thinking, that a marriage involves human reproduction; that what Kennedy calls a marriage is in fact a civil union. But reasonable persons are today either silent or punished by the government.

The law written, passed, and signed by SCOTUS of course. All by their lonesomes.

While the article is well written, the title should be changed to "Describing the contours of a Pretzel".

It’s the law that says that if it’s leftist/progressive it’s constitutional, if conservative it’s illegal.

The 14th amendment calls for equal protection under the law, so that means that leftist/ progressive initiatives are more equal than others.

This issue is more important than sodomite marriage. It really is about equal protection under the law which purportedly undergirded the USSC decision.

The hypocrisy is truly astounding.
