On Monday, Attorney General Jack Conway, who is also running for Kentucky Governor, said he has sympathy for the Rowan County Clerk.
“She’s obviously in a heartfelt position right now,” said Conway. “She is not in jail for religious beliefs, she’s in jail because she defied a federal judge’s court order. We are a nation of laws and the rule of law has to prevail.”
Here’s the the thing, she could be indicted and charged under a couple different KY statutes with not doing her job.
Probably wouldn’t be convicted - at the very least jury nullification would come into play - but as state Attorney General Conway (Democrat, running for Governor) could do that sort of thing.
Which should be pointed out, particularly to Progressives. Their own Democrats here in KY don’t want to touch this.
