Jailed clerk

[sweetwater]

What if she had just refused to do some other essential function of her job that wasn't such a hot button issue? Could they remove her? Would she be in jail?

If they can't remove her, then our system is seriously flawed.

And if the answer is that she wouldn't be in jail if it were some other function she refused to do, then she shouldn't be in jail for this.

Before we condemn Kim Davis too much let us not forget that there are two other county clerks in Kentucky who are refusing to issue marriage licenses as well. Casey Davis in Casey County, and Kay Schwartz in Whitley County are also refusing to issue marriage license to same-sex couples based on the same religious freedom argument. They have not been subject to any legal challenges and so have not been threatened with jail.

I'm not condemning her, I'm condemning the government.

I'm with ya on that.
