Statement on Arrest of Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis
HOUSTON, Texas – U.S. Sen. Cruz, R-Texas, today released the following statement regarding the arrest of Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis:
“Today, judicial lawlessness crossed into judicial tyranny. Today, for the first time ever, the government arrested a Christian woman for living according to her faith. This is wrong. This is not America.
“I stand with Kim Davis. Unequivocally. I stand with every American that the Obama Administration is trying to force to chose between honoring his or her faith or complying with a lawless court opinion.
“In dissent, Chief Justice Roberts rightly observed that the Court’s marriage opinion has nothing to do with the Constitution. Justice Scalia observed that the Court’s opinion was so contrary to law that state and local officials would choose to defy it.
“For every politician — Democrat and Republican — who is tut-tutting that Davis must resign, they are defending a hypocritical standard. Where is the call for the mayor of San Francisco to resign for creating a sanctuary city — resulting in the murder of American citizens by criminal illegal aliens welcomed by his lawlessness?
“Where is the call for President Obama to resign for ignoring and defying our immigration laws, our welfare reform laws, and even his own Obamacare?
“When the mayor of San Francisco and President Obama resign, then we can talk about Kim Davis.
“Those who are persecuting Kim Davis believe that Christians should not serve in public office. That is the consequence of their position. Or, if Christians do serve in public office, they must disregard their religious faith–or be sent to jail.
“Kim Davis should not be in jail. We are a country founded on Judeo-Christian values, founded by those fleeing religious oppression and seeking a land where we could worship God and live according to our faith, without being imprisoned for doing so.
“I call upon every Believer, every Constitutionalist, every lover of liberty to stand with Kim Davis. Stop the persecution now.”

Rally at the JailHouse!
Fund Bail for Kim Davis!
Well said!
Now where the hell is Trump and the rest of them on this issue????
Why I love Ted Cruz.
Is there a petition online yet? There should be a legal defense fund set up as well.
I wish I was in DC. I’d round up some fellows and stand outside the Supreme Court shouting “F*ck You Kennedy!” with his effigy in a perverted pose.
Here’s hoping this is the beginning of Christians rediscovering commitment.
Where is she?
.
Time for commitment.
She disobeyed the law. It won’t stand. You’d have to change the law to win this argument. She, being an elected official is responsible to uphold the law. Any law.
Is there bail for contempt?
I don’t think bail is an issue here.
If they want to get rid of Davis let them recall her if they can and all should encourage our states to rebel against DC and its unconstitutional oppression.
I love Ted, I have been all in for him for a year.
I have his staff number on my phone.
Saying that, I believe the Rump humpers have convinced the Millennials that they are cool.
What law did she disobey?
She is upholding KY marriage law, SCOTUS struck it down therefore KY now has no marriage law to issue any license what so ever.
Again, what law has she not upheld?
Which law would that be?
What ACTION should be taken in support of the lady?
“all should encourage our states to rebel against DC and its unconstitutional oppression.”
Y E S
There is no law being disobeyed here, merely a judicial diktat which pretends that it overrides the law of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. A diktat by a majority of one.
BTW, she is being held for contempt, not braking any so called law, funny that’s how tyrants work.
Oh, like the president and the U. S. Constitution...
So where are you on all the mayors who have declared their cities to be "sanctuaries" and refuse to uphold immigration law?
