After five days behind bars, county clerk Kim Davis was ordered released from jail Tuesday by the judge who locked her up for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples. U.S. District Judge David Bunning lifted the contempt order but directed Davis not to interfere with the granting of licenses by her deputies.
The move came down just before Davis was to receive jailhouse visits from presidential candidates Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz. Davis was thrown in jail on Thursday, becoming a hero among religious conservatives for the boldest act of resistance by a public official yet to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that legalized gay marriage across the nation. Outside the jail where Davis was held, word spread slowly through a crowd of supporters in the afternoon, and some said they c

The blackrobed tyrant released her to prevent Cruz from gaining political advantage from this hate crime against a Christian.
When and how will the judge who jailed her be punished?
The Supreme Court has no authority to create (”legalize” in the article) the “law of the land.” If they are going to do that, we need to send Congress home and stop wasting all of the taxpayers’ money being used to subsidize politicians. JMO in the warm and fuzziest words I can come up with.
YES SIR...they're running scared now !!!
Contempt of court?
Guilty!
Excellent point. If the Eminent Tribunal now is the lawmaking branch, who needs congress?
bttt
The Left has awakened a Sleeping Giant.
If we had a free press they would be demanding to know: what law was broken.
The impending visits from Cruz and Huckabee underlined what a problem having he rin jail was posing, publicity-wise, for the Gaystapo, so she had to be released before any further damage could occur.
Were it I, I might well refuse to go.
You are correct.
Separation of powers and all that, the legislative powers belong to Congress and the various state legislatures.
The proper way to handle this would have been for the SC to order either Congress or the state legislature to do something, WHICH THE LEGISLATURES COULD IGNORE!
Did she cave in the least? In other words, will she allow her name to be affixed to these certificates?
NO!
They caved.....they’re listing Rowan County instead of her name.
Had she been a Muslim and taking the same stance against a same-sex marriage, would she have been imprisoned? An inquisitive mind wants to know.
We should also remember the names of the two sodomites who initiated this whole mess...can’t let them slink off unscathed.
What sleeping giant? America's Christians?
They're not going to do anything. They'll sit and pray and continue to be good little submissives.
If there ever comes some sort of uprising or massive political movement in America to push back against Liberalism, it won't be lead by the churches.
The Constitution now says whatever the hell 5 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices currently want it to say.
Scalia and Kennedy will both turn 80 next year. Thomas will be in his 70s during the next President’s term. If Hillary gets to replace any one of them, then a far left wing oligarchy will be dictating from the bench for the next 30 years.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Yes but I’m not too sure about being filled with a terrible resolve..
