It is interesting that Bunning cannot fire her, and neither can her county commissioners. I believe she will draw a paycheck whether she is in the office or not. And what if she refuses to resign, and the electorate reelect her?
She might get re-elected, and not just because of her convictions. Simply, people need her — no one will take her place.
These crackpot liberals don’t realize how much gays won the battle but lost the war. Once they end up driving away everyone conservative in civil service, no one will be running these offices. The only ones left will be those old enough to bite the bullet until retirement. The younger people will not replace them. They will be too busy goofing off at the Burning Man festival to be bothered.
I see this at the liberal religious denominations (oxymoron?) — in Judaism, anyway. The older crowd — those with any sense of tradition or commitment — is keeping them on life support. The younger ones are too narcissistic or decadent to care.
The Kentucky county might find someone more “progressive” to replace Ms. Davis, but only for a few years. It’s not just the system that collapses — the solid individuals who run it will disappear.
