“Gee...funny how they never did this when the “sanctuary city” crowd decided to defy the law.”
Post of the day.
“Why don’t her bosses fire her?
If they won’t, why aren’t they arrested, too?”
She is elected and can only be impeached. The PEOPLE of her county don’t want her impeached. This Judge has overstepped and violated his authority and her first amendment rights.
She can not be "fired", since she was not "hired" she was elected. And as others have pointed out she is the only one actually obeying the law. This is pure tyranny by the federal judiciary.
I’m not up on this story, so sorry for ignorance but why would she be JAILED? Why not just fired? I’m not understanding this. Seems like it’s just for politics.
Also, gay marriage is the law of the land even if it isn’t your religion’s law. If you job is to give marriage licenses, you have to give them to gays. It’s a stupid protest because it will bring NOTHING. It will change NOTHING. Another clerk will be brought in.
Imagine a hospital worker who is Jehovas Witness (doesn’t believe in transfusions?) who gets transferred to a transfusion dept. They would have to beg for a transfer, or quit. If as a Jew I were told I’d have to work on Saturday, I’d have to go against my religion or quit. You can be asked anything legal by your boss, and you need to perform it. Period. You can always quit.
This was a stupid performance.
The Liberal media controls 40% of the ballot box by feeding propaganda to the dumbest 40% of the country.
I no longer regard our democratic system as viable. It won't be viable until both sides have access to the information distribution system, and not just Liberal Democrats.
The ballot box is broken. The system has been gamed. We no longer have fair and legal elections.
I will agree when you can show me the law she is refusing to obey.
Civil disobedience is what needs to happen. Sit-ins. We will not be moved. Jail us all, or jail none of us.
This is NOT just about gay “marriage”. It’s about freedom itself—freedom of religion, freedom of conscience, freedom from federal tyranny. It’s about what our children will be taught in school and what kind of America our children will live in; it’s about our right to teach moral values to our own children without fear of being jailed for doing so.
If we aren’t willing to draw a line in the sand and force the Feds to back down, we all need to STFU.
Bttt for your excellent post at #396
Wow, Just...wow!
Remember how the LefTards spent eight long years calling President Bush a Fascist?
Just amazing to me that you can be JAILED for your Christian beliefs.
What’s next? Her beheading by the Gaystapo?
Exactly right.
Look up Morehead, Kentucky and note that there are at least 20 Kentucky counties closer to Ohio, where this homo couple lives. They are not being inconvenienced in the slightest. This is a search and destroy mission.
I did not know that. That may be the reason she is not so terribly afraid of it.
Look at it this way. If you accept the concept that SCOTUS has the final say on the constitutionality of a law, then the most that SCOTUS can do is overturn or invalidate laws that they determine to be unconstitutional. They CANNOT decree that existing laws have been changed. So if the Kentucky laws are written so that they specifically limit marriage to a man and a woman, SCOTUS may be able to overturn those laws so that they may not be enforced. But that means that Kentucky no longer has ANY laws concerning marriage. If the existing laws are invalid, then the state legislature will need to pass new laws that are constitutional. Until that happens, no marriage licenses in Kentucky can really be issued legally, can they? So by not issuing any marriage licenses, it seems like she was abiding by the current state of the law in Kentucky...

I think some judges need to be impeached, not the clerk.
When can we start prosecuting and jailing fags for Crimes Against Nature?
She was jailed for contempt. There is no bail.
Or can a judge do this when the charge is contempt?
They can.
Every contempt jailing I’ve ever heard of, has been for a specified time period, usually a couple of days.
When a judge jails someone for contempt it's until the person jailed agrees to abide by the judge's order. That usually doesn't take long.
To order her held indefinitely, without a jury trial and without bail, could effectively be a life sentence, should she refuse to comply. This is beyond the pale.
Supposedly there's a limit of six months or so.
And meanwhile Lois Lerner, Smigle (head of IRS), and Hilliary all walk free...
Caused by the 14th amendment. Let us not forget that this amendment empowered this abuse.
