I don’t understand why fines or other sanctions were not applied instead of the draconian measure of imprisonment.

The judge said that if he fined her then there was no stopping someone else from paying her fine.

It is up to the County Sheriff to blockade the Courthouse until Ms. Davis is released in to his custody.

The only problem is that the courthouse is not in the same county where Ms. Davis is county clerk.

Excellent point.

This is question that needs to be asked. The left certainly wastes no time in punishing those who disagree with it.

Where’s the jail time for protectors of criminal violators of our immigration laws?

“Davis served as her mother’s deputy in the clerk’s office for 27 years before she was elected as a Democrat to succeed her mother in November. Davis’ own son is on the staff.”

This is wrong but this is what she voted for. We predicted things would come to this. I have little sympathy for her. And why did she not quit her job and then try to sue? It would have made more sense.

What this judge is doing is wrong. No doubt about it. And it is scarier than heck. But to be honest. I just can’t work up any “give a da**” for a dem.

If there is a bail set she should not have to pay one dime, if there is any decency left in this country.

There is no bail when you get jailed for contempt of court. The judge can keep you there as long as he likes, or until you comply with the order.

There is no bail on contempt charges, and no limit to the sentence either. The judge can literally keep her in jail for the rest of her life if she refuses to do what he ordered.

She's an elected official, so she can't be fired.

She can be booted out by the voters at her next election...or, under Kentucky law, she can be impeached by her state legislature.

But "fired", no.

Because she’s basing her refusal on God’s Law,

she must be punished severely.

They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.

Acts, Ch 5

Dozens of N.C. magistrates refuse to perform gay marriages

RALEIGH, N.C. —The number of North Carolina magistrates recusing themselves from performing civil marriages under a new law has more than doubled in recent weeks.

The state court system says it’s received 32 notices from magistrates since the law took effect June 11. That’s up from 14 in early July and represents nearly 5 percent of the state’s magistrates.

The law exempts court officials with sincerely held religious beliefs opposing gay marriage.

The law also gave the recusal option to some register of deeds workers issuing marriage licenses. Elected officials would perform the duties as a last resort.

"But to be honest, I just can't work up any 'give a da**' for a Dem".

In the first place, many old-time southern Dems are very conservative.

In the second place, are you able to work up any "give a da**" for a Christian?

I read the judge said that wouldn’t be enough to deter her.
