Civil disobedience is fine when it advances liberal causes. But we're a "nation of laws" when the laws favor leftists.

Nothing more than the usual hypocrisy from the usual hypocrites.

Even in the case of Kim Davis, it can be validly argued that SHE is the one who is UPHOLDING the law and the Judge who jailed her is the one violating it.

SEE HERE:
Judge orders Kim Davis to jail but his order was against the law

Did Kim Davis violate the law and should she have been jailed? The answer is quite clear: Davis upheld the law, and the judge's order is unlawful and, indeed, criminal and tyrannical.

According to Kentucky Revised Statutes Chapter 402.005, marriage is defined as:

As used and recognized in the law of the Commonwealth, "marriage" refers only to the civil status, condition, or relation of one (1) man and one (1) woman united in law for life, for the discharge to each other and the community of the duties legally incumbent upon those whose association is founded on the distinction of sex.

The chapter also goes on to point out that Davis was right in following the law as to who is not permitted to receive a marriage license. 402.010 reads:



Degree of relationship that will bar marriage. (1) No marriage shall be contracted between persons who are nearer of kin to each other by consanguinity, whether of the whole or half-blood, than second cousins. (2) Marriages prohibited by subsection (1) of this section are incestuous and void.

The chapter continues in 402.020 to prohibit other marriages, including those between members of the same sex, spouses who are married and seeking another marriage without divorce and polygamy.

Finally, it is noteworthy that 402.080 states, "No marriage shall be solemnized without a license therefor. The license shall be issued by the clerk of the county in which the female resides at the time, unless the female is eighteen (18) years of age or over or a widow, and the license is issued on her application in person or by writing signed by her, in which case it may be issued by any county clerk."

So, Kim Davis has followed the laws of Kentucky and, I might add, the laws of God concerning marriage. Who then is the violator of law in this matter? First, the sodomites are the violators of these laws in their attempt to get a marriage license. Second, the judge in the matter is in violation of the law by ordering Davis to do what is unlawful.

Frankly, it seems high time the people of Kentucky stop protesting and start demanding that Judge David Bunning and members of the Supreme Court be impeached and that sodomites be held accountable lawfully for their criminal behavior. Like I've said before, if we would deal with the crime of sodomy lawfully, we wouldn't be at this crossroads where so many people are confused about marriage.
