Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is planning to visit the Kentucky clerk taken into custody for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples next week.
Huckabee will visit Kim Davis, the Rowan County clerk, in jail Tuesday before he is set to rally supporters outside the detention center where she is being held, Huckabee spokesman Hogan Gidley told CNN on Friday.

So lets see, so while Cruz, Paul and Huckabee come out in support of Davis... Trump bloviates on how gay marriage is the law of the land and ought to be upheld. Awesome.
Good for huckabee. Hope Cruz will be in contact with her too. He had a religious freedom event with others persecuted by the homonazis.
Huckabee or Cruz's comments that he will stand with Davis do nothing. Trumps comment that this is the law, is valid and does nothing. People say gay marriage is not law, but until congress impeaches someone, it is law.
Ky Constitution says, Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Ky.
So when they start putting all the Colorado pot smokers in jail because it is the (Federal) law of the land, then Kim Davis’s jail sentence is just...? /s
People say gay marriage is not law, but until congress impeaches someone, it is law.
**************************************
The Constitution doesn’t permit SCOTUS to create laws and does not mention anything about marriage. The five far left libs on SCOTUS that made the ruling were each in violation of their oaths to uphold the Constitution.
The prerequisites to obtain a marriage license are within States’ Rights; not the Federal gov’t.
Can anyone name any major battle WE have won in the last 100 years.
I thought we had won the marriage battle. Next thing you know state are issuing stamped pieces of paper porclaiming queers married?
I thought we had stopped ObamaCare?
I thought we would never allow Iran to obtain nukes?
Abortions went from rape, incest and the life of the mother to near infanticide. OUr government will not stop the selling live baby parts?
What is this Constitution everyone keeps bringing up?
The prerequisites to obtain a marriage license are within States Rights; not the Federal govt.
Correct.
Also, the state law in KY is very clear as to what constitutes a marriage.
There is also a constitutional amendment to the state constitution in KY that defines marriage as between one man and one woman, which was approved by the voters of KY in 2004 with a majority of 75%.
It is also clear that the authority to issue a marriage license resides solely in identified parties, such as the county clerk or state judges.
It is also state law in KY that a deputy clerk has no authority to issue a marriage license.
Federal Judge Bunning has broken state law numerous times in this case, and his decision rests on no Federal law, as a Supreme Court ruling is not law.
The "law of the land" phrase is meaningless when applied to a Supreme Court decision which has never been codified into law in any of the 50 states.
The Federal government, through this judge, is trying to bull compliance with a ruling and not a law, through raw judicial power.
The Supreme Court and the Federal judiciary has overstepped their bounds, and the Congress and the people have to re-establish the boundaries.
Left unchecked and based on illegal and immoral rulings, the Federal government will proceed to force compliance by all people of faith to their godless and illegal dictates.
Wow! So, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington marijuana laws prove a state doesn’t have to follow federal laws?
