I know I am a minority on this issue here on this sight, I grew up with these people and have worked with them all my life and I AM sympathetic to their plight. Growing up our church has supported them, as a youth I took mission trips and my father in retirement took many trips down to help them, for me it is not a simple or obvious.

I'll tread very carefully here since out of respect to your tenure here on FR, your born on date trumps mine since I'm merely a n00b (in spite of just being short of 70 in real life).

With that caveat out of the way, sympathy has nothing to do with it. The Constitution and law are what matters when a situation is evaluated. An activist Supreme Court, in many cases drawing upon mere sympathy, has overturned proper laws and created "rights" out of thin air.

This woman and her family are criminals who have disobeyed a fundamental principle of our Republic. I don't care one iota about her looks, her religion, her politics (which are doubtlessly liberal), her job skills, her work ethic or any other traits. In the eyes of the law, she's a law breaker and must be punished.
