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.”

God’s Law rules supreme, which is why our laws and Constitution were originally based upon it and nested within it.
This might be the defining moment that sets Cruz apart from every other "R" candidate. None of the others have been this vocal - Paul a little, Fiorina is in agreement with jailing her.
The minister of our little Baptist church says that he will now turn down the tax exemption for being non political. Says he can no longer take the 30 pieces of silver to remain silent.
Its a small church so the taxes won’t be huge but myself and many others have offered to help out. Many of us aren’t even members but the church is part of our community and we need it.

>> “She disobeyed the law. It won’t stand.” <<

No, she did not.
She has stood up against legislation from the bench, which is unconstitutional.

I’m assuming she will be in some jail, but I don’t know if it will be local or federal.
This is a Hail Mary pass from Cruz. He’s done.
