What if the Muslim's belief is to stone you to death for adultery? Should they be allowed to do that?
Uh no- cause that is murder
But that is their belief from God and they actually do that in some countries. So the Muslim will say it is murder in man's world but not by God. So this woman is following her belief in God in opposing secular laws-where do we draw the line?
This is an elected position. She can't just lose her job. Contempt of court is the only path here, and it's quite constitutional.
In a normal and tolerant society not run by Authoritarian Progs, we allow for "accommodations" when we make big changes to our laws like 5 judges just did at the Supreme Court.
Again, about 2 months ago Gay Marriage was not legal in many states. A few years before that it was not legal in most of the world.
They could have found better ways to get through this situation without jailing people. This gay couple presumably waited years for the Supreme Court to legalize gay marriage in Kentucky, they couldn't wait a few more days to deputize other clerks or find a way to recall or impeach this Democrat?

They gave her the option-she refused.
Now I don't believe in the war on drugs. But if I become a judge and have to follow mandatory sentencing-can I free any drug related defendant that comes by my way?

The accommodation you speak of amounts to coddling a public employee who openly defies the lines of authority.
People who abuse a position of authority or fail to do their jobs should be got rid of. I would think that a self-described "conservative" would be delighted to see a failing public servant dealt with quickly and decisively. Aren't conservatives constantly complaining about the lack of accountability in the public sector?

Starting here?
Get impeachment through the House, then get the Senate to impeach.
If that happens, and Obama refuses to leave the White House, I would support jailing him.

OK - so why couldn't they impeach this Democrat clerk in Kentucky? That is the option available to remove her from her post.

And as I pointed out earlier, why weren't Gavin Newsom and Jerry Brown impeached or even reprimanded for not following the State's laws when gay marriage was still illegal?
The law is the law and all that - right?
She also could have done like all the other county clerks with religious objections to gay marriage and had one of her younger Obama-fan junior clerks perform the marriage.
I think she was making a point. It costs to make a point. In this case it costs her a few days of freedom to exercise her religious freedom. Many highly regarded people throughout history (MLK anyone?) would consider this a fair trade.
In Kentucky, her jail time will ensure her reelection. Them rednecks and poor blacks don't like the gays, and certainly don't think they ought to be getting married. Rest assured Davis is a local hero.
Look, it's very simple. Here's an imperfect analogy
Quaker joins the USN and flies F-18s. He's instructed to engage the enemy, and refuses, because he's a Quaker.
USAF gives him several choices: Resign, or fire on the enemy planes. He refuses to do either.
Nobody, I mean nobody, certainly not Huckabee, would be screaming "TYRANNY! SOCIALIZM!! OBAMANAZI!! The JEWZ, JEZUITS, NWO, POLICE STATE!!!" if the USAF discharged the guy (or put him in prison).
She's wrong Cake boy is not.
She works in the Court house issuing legal doccuments. The SOP for people of the same sex to legally benefit share, is to get a cohabitation request form.
That is the way the court should look at it, that is the way the church should look at it, and bakers and tailors can decide if they only do religious ceramony stuff.
TN judge won't grant straight couple divorce, because of gay marriage!

I wonder if he is voting for Trump?
Trump has had 3 marriages-or is that not enough since the KY clerk is on her 4th one??

This is the America we live in now.
Yet when elected officials in San Francisco refuse to follow the law on sanctuary cities which actually results in people being killed, they aren't even fined.
