KimDavis will be brought back in shortly to discuss contempt and willingness to follow order again

Kim Davis has to follow the existing Kentucky law.
If the judge is ordering her to do something against the law, and throwing her in jail to boot, what should be done with the judge?

Your thought about the Judge crossed my mind as well. Iirc his mother said (noted on an earlier thread) that he disagreed with the decision but felt obligated to implement it.

So he puts her in jail, but doesn’t impose fines that would cause her any long-term financial distress. She’s now a martyr and folk hero. There’s immediate blowback against Progressives, which will be exacerbated with their triumphalism and cheering of her jailing.

And the “cooler” heads within the Democratic Party have nowhere to go on this.

I feel really bad for her right now, but this is probably the least-worst scenario for her and her beliefs.

If thats what the courts rule, then it IS. People need to think twice before taking a government job.

Because it might eventually require them to start tattooing dissidents before loading them into the cattle cars.

I have a different philosophy. In that direction lies Nazism.

Wait till the judge leaves the courthouse and let the Sheriff arrest the judge?

If a county clerk says owning a dog is against the law of nature, do you have any recourse?

A mulsoom clerk might say so???

But can a county clerk decide which laws to obey?

That is not the question. The question is "Can immoral laws compel obedience?

The "Following Orders" excuse led to some very horrible results. I eschew a philosophy underpinned by that principle.

No. You don't have to obey immoral orders. In fact, you have a duty to fight them.

Sobering thought although this particular LEO is a Federalista and not a local.

Yeah, I have been trying for many years now to get folks to open their eyes. The States’ religion is secular humanism and the State is forcing its’ religion on the country. This is a direct violation of the First Amendment.

Well you stated she wasn’t issuing ANY marriage licenses. That’s what I based my “not fulfilling her oath” comment on. Maybe I should change the word oath to duties.

According to Kentucky law, as posted above, you have to apply for a marriage license in the county in which the female lives.

These two sick faggots cannot comply with that requirement of Kentucky law. Not only is neither a female, neither of them live in Kentucky. They are from Ohio.

So how is she supposed to follow the law in issuing a "marriage" certificate?

I notice everyone glosses over the requirements of the law unless it's requirements that *THEY* want to enforce. Those other requirements? "Well we can just ignore those."

They can go ahead and pull the trigger. I will not participate, I will not yield, I will not condone a sexual perversion that will bring down the Wrath of God.

My goodness, you are arguing like a perfect relativist. Here. Read. Learn.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law

This concept has been the universal bedrock of Christian law from the scholastics up to and including the Founding Fathers. And the very POINT of natural law is be a check on the power of the state. The state is not allowed to take away what nature and God have given us.

Likewise the state has no right to declare sodomy marriage because nature and God have already defined marriage. Period. End of story.

Has she said?

Don't know, still trying to sort out all the details on this.

AFAIK she is following KY law, I guess her mistake was showing up in a Federal court thereby giving them jurisdiction.

Like I wrote, still trying to sort it all out.

"Christians need not apply for gummit jobs."

I’m glad that you mentioned this. Note that the 14th Amendment applied the Constitution’s Clause 3 of Article VI, particularly the prohibition of religious tests, to the states.
