“What LAW did the clerk break that now has her in jail?”
She stopped issuing marriage licenses, which is her job. She was ordered by a judge to go back and do her job, which she said she could not do for religious reasons. She was held in contempt for refusing a court order and put in the pen.
Now we have this corny excuse (after the fact) that because SCOTUS ruled bans on gay marriage unconstitutional that there is “no law” in Kentucky for issuing any marriage licenses and therefore she has committed no offense.
There is no ideological bias. She simply stopped working. That’s her choice. But she has no ground to stand on that she just was minding her own business and was chucked into jail because she was a Christian.
Well stated. I am glad she has done what she has done, however. She has shown a light on a couple of conservative issues.
