You know, before I read that I thought that Davis needed to resign - and then go write a book and give speeches and make 10 or 50 times what she makes as a clerk.
But now I agree with Cruz - let others, who have far more responsibility, resign when THEY violate the law. Those who did it first should resign first.
Arresting her for contempt is way too harsh, and she has a legitimate 1st Amendment case here. Those saying, "But she has to do her job," etc., etc. have not considered that when she took the job, there was no requirement to marry same-sex individuals. IOW, the nuisance came to her, she didn't sign on for it from Day 1.
I think she is an excellent example in standing up against judicial tyranny. The pervs are in charge. Glad Ted is highlighting her efforts. If more clerks would do the same it would be excellent.
Even if she *had* taken the elected position knowing beforehand that it would run contrary to the unlawful supreme court decision, she *still* would have had a duty to follow Kentucky law, the constitution, her conscience and above all the law of God.
All of these are contrary to the debauched ruling handed down by a lawless court.
