We live in a fundamentally transformed America where Rowan County, Kentucky, Clerk Kim Davis is thrown in jail for refusing to issue a lesbian couple a marriage license in violation of her religious beliefs but San Francisco officials who violated the law, created a sanctuary city, and harbored an illegal criminal alien charged with the murder of Kate Steinle, are not?
Kim Davis, we are told, is obligated as a public official under the law, as determined by the Supreme Court, which was not established to write laws to issue such licenses. But then are we saying Christians can’t be public officials?
What about Muslims? Would a Muslim clerk be thrown in jail?
The Supreme Court has ruled, we are also told, that gay marriage cannot be stopped under the Constitution and must be permitted in all fifty states. The Supreme Court once ruled in Dred Scott that slavery was legal, and that some human beings were property, if they were human beings at all.

Well, but that's fundamentally wrong. The consequence of that statement, that standard is that Christians can't hold public office or if they do, they must be willing to violate their faith or go to jail. That is not America. That is not how this country works. And let me point out to all of the politicians, both Democrats and Republicans who are touting that if Miss Davis doesn't want to follow this lawless judicial decree from the Supreme Court that she should resign her office. Where have those voices been? Calling for the mayor of San Francisco to resign who has declared San Francisco a sanctuary city. Defying immigration laws...
...American citizens have been murdered by violent criminal illegal aliens because of the mayor's violation of the law or where are those voices calling for President Obama to resign for six-and-a-half years, he has defied the law, immigration law, he's defied welfare reform laws, he's even defied his own ObamaCare law. When the mayor of San Francisco and President Obama resign, then we can talk about Kim Davis.
I recently read the marriage between a man and a woman is enshrined in Kentucky law. Am I wrong in stating that Kim Davis was in reality upholding the law?
“Am I wrong in stating that Kim Davis was in reality upholding the law?”
You’re exactly right and the law has not been changed.
Thanks..thought so
Our legal system is based on this presumption...
Or, reward for righteousness even when it’s inconvenient now.
No, you are not wrong.
She's doing her job by upholding KY law.
I think a lot of people need a refresher course in the duties of the different branches of the government, like that the judicial branch cannot make laws, nor that the federal government determine stuff that is really a states right issue.
Of course not. Don't be silly.
Question: Is the judge who ordered her to jail appointed or elected? If elected, the state of Iowa offered the solution a few years ago when they made a controversial call and, if memory serves right, three of the justices lost their next election.

Please add me to your ping list - thanks!
It would only happen once. Muslims don’t do the peaceful protest thing as it does not work. Ferguson X 10, now we talking.
