Kentucky county clerk in contempt of court, in custody of KY Marshals

Why didn't the state court issue a Writ of Mandamus? Then they could have bounced her when she refused. She should have issued the licenses, but this is a publicity stunt. It could have been handled much more simply. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

I am a martyr because I took an oath I never intended to uphold!" It would not surprise me if she was already working on book deals, TV appearances, etc. I have it, she can be Palin's VP candidate! THAT combination would cause me to vote for Clinton. (OK, not that, but maybe I would join COG and vote for Gary J).

I am NOT condemning her religious beliefs, I am condemning her grandstanding and her complete disregard for an oath she took. It is almost laughable that the RWWs on here do not see the incredible similarity between her actions and the Jackson/Sharpton charlatanry. If anything, Sharpton at least wasn't getting a gov't paycheck while pontificating his vomit. It is pretty bad when you fall below Rev Al on the sleaze scale. Pretty bad indeed.

she's a religious zealot. you are a taint zealot. what's the difference? Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

As I said, this woman broke the Law. She has been arrested.

Of course, when thugs, robbers, thieves, criminals, and animals in general decide to break the law and go "shopping" during a riot, then they are told by the powers that be, "they need their space to pillage as they please", to paraphrase.

And of course, they are encouraged by a President who doesn't have a clue as to the type of animals he is dealing with. President Obama doesn't have a clue that when he utters even the smallest word of encouragement for the "cause", his "sons" out on the street take it as, "Obama got my back".

Naiveté and Stupidity. A combination that President Obama and most of his boot lickers have mastered to perfection. Originally Posted by Jackie S

Agreed. She needs to be imprisoned right along with the shitheels who convinced her this would be a good idea, and hatemongers like JL's good buddy and beneficiary, Texas AG Paxton.

Good thing she didn't have a gun...

Stupid asshole. It's not 1840 and this is about what our country is built on...rule of law. It doesn't fucking work if everybody just obeys the laws they agree with...do you not get that? She needs to make a choice: step down because of religious convictions or do the job the taxpayers elected her, and pay her, to do. Originally Posted by timpage

You want to pick and choose but I thought the Constitution was to protect the opinions of the minority as stated by NBK last week. The left is all over the place on this. You talk about the rule of law while your icons flout the law on a regular basis. You wrap yourselves in the Constitution when it suits you and shit on it when it doesn't.

The conservative point of view is that she has a right to her religious beliefs...even if it means she goes to jail. It is up to the state how far it is willing to go to oppress someones beliefs. Don't think we haven't forgot how many lefties have stated that they think people who don't believe in their version of global warming should be punished with violence, firing, or imprisonment. The left is rotten to the core.

This is a publicity stunt on the left. All of those gay couples who traveled to Hawaii to get married but these couples can't even find the state or county line. This is just the gay mafia wanting to force someone to bow to them.

Yeah, that's not what is going to happen procedurally. A writ of mandamus is something a litigant directs to an appellate court seeking a remedy in relation to a trial court order.

Rule of law prevails. Deputy clerks in Kentucky case are issuing marriage licenses.

I hope the clerk in jail enjoys her baloney sandwich at lunch today.
