I wish we could force more public officials into a position where there was no room to maneuver. It appears the only way to force them to do the right thing.
And sometimes putting them into a position where they can’t do anything at all is the best option.
Like I said earlier, Matt Bevins will most likely be the next governor due to this. And he’ll probably have a solidly-Republican State House of Reps due to it too.
Just tookma look at the local Louisville Gannett rag’s website.
The Democrat statewide candidates have pretty much gone into hiding over this. The Democrat who’s Speaker of the Democrat-controlled House of Reps is BEGGING the Democrat governor to call a special session so they can put in religious protections for this clerk.
The statewide GOP candidates are all over this, claiming religious persecution.
In the meantime the same-sex marriage advocates are backpeddling in horror, stating that they didn’t want her jailed over this.
This is quickly turning into a political fiasco for the Democrats and Progressives. At least in KY.
