Here is the thing. The gay couple does not simply want a marriage license. If they did, they would go get one from another place.
They want her to betray her conscious. They want to break her. They want to win.
Make no mistake, this is a battle between God and Satan played out on a small scale.
If she resigns, they win.
The county clerk position is an elected official. Kim Davis (a Democrat I might add) won the election in 2014 with 53% of the vote.
The only way that gay couple will get a marriage license in her county is if the people of her county recall her or if she is impeached by the State House and removed by the State Senate. She is the only authority who can issue licenses in that county.
This isn’t about a license, this is about forcing someone to act against their conscious.
Make no mistake, this is a battle between God and Satan played out on a small scale.
If she resigns, they win.
If we were Muslims, they would not survive this test of wills. If we were Muslims, they would not even attempt such a test of wills.
I have been saying for a long time that we need to engineer confrontations between violent Muslims and these people. Getting your enemies to fight each other is a very sensible tactic.
