Full headline: Shackled at the ankles with her head bowed, the moment defiant Kentucky county clerk is escorted to jail for repeatedly refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples

I knew she was cuffed...did not know she was shackled as well...

It would be a fitting turn of justic if one day black robed jackboots like the judge were escorted out of a courtroom in shackles on THEIR way to jail.

I assume the Sheriff of San Francisco and other officials in “sanctuary cities” who refuse to turn over criminal illegal aliens will now be shackled and thrown into jail. But as Hillary Clinton says, the clerk has to obey the law and suffer the consequences of not doing so. What about the city officials in “sanctuary cities”, Mrs. Clinton??

Well she’s one of those dangerous criminal Christians, it’s not like she’s just some peaceful rioter or looter or something.

I hope that Christians can see that the groundwork is being laid for Christianity—at least Christianity worthy of the name, not the lukewarm kind-is being outlawed, and soon real Biblical Christians will be outlaws for our beliefs.

After his ruling, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said 'the success of our democracy depends on the rule of law, and there's no public official that is above the rule of law'.

That comment would be laugh out loud funny if it were not so hypocritical and perverted.

Stop and think...how far down we have become in what used to be America since the reign of the liberal millennials placed Obama in office and destroyed the freedoms once granted under the Constitution.

Freedom of speech, thought and actions has been wiped clean from our courts ranging from local to the Supreme court. We are now controlled by the “Thought Police” and things will not turn around for it is too late....a whole generation has been infected with the liberal brain disease brought to America from Kenya.

She cannot be fired...she is an elected official. She would have to be impeached. Or are we now in a non representative system?

This episode clearly demonstrates two things to me:

1. If you're a non-Liberal and you stand against Liberalism, nobody is coming to your aid. As despicable as Liberals are, they take care of each other. If this woman was a Liberal martyr, there would be thousands of protesters, Lib celebrities, and Lib politicians ON LOCATION standing by her side.

Where are our Christian leaders? Hello, Franklin Graham? Anybody?

2. American Christians will never..... NEVER.... rise up, stand up, rebel, fight, or resist in any meaningful way against the destruction of their values and even their own religion. It's really breathtaking how submissive Christians have become. With all the bluster and whining and complaining on this forum, with all the platitudes about "the coming war," this episode clearly demonstrates that it's all just trash talking. Nobody is going to do anything.

I've said it before: American Christians can't, and won't, defend even their own churches.

It's why Trump is so popular. He's not pandering to the church lady crowd and merely gave lip service to reading the Bible. American Christians have shown the country and the world how weak and apathetic they really are.

So why didn't the cops refuse to shackle this courageous woman?

They deserve scorn as well.

Davis, a thrice-divorced Apostolic Christian

I heard one news report describe her as a Democrat. If so, it's interesting the Daily Mail left that out.

'Course, if she was a Republican, the description would've been, The Republican Davis, a thrice-divorced Republican Apostolic Republican Christian Republican.....

Why in the world is she shackled!? What’s she going to do, run off with their pens? Most definitely obama is making her an example.

The Terri Schiavo situation comes to mind. Like Jeb Bush, the governor of Kentucky fails to uphold the laws of his own state.
