KY AG office possibly to investigate Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis for official misconduct ... jail!

[RKP5637]

This lady must be stupid, being used or severely misinformed. She might be standing for a cause, but she will likely be the one to suffer long term when she's forgotten about.

A spokeswoman for Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway said on Monday that his office is reviewing a request for a special prosecutor to determine if Davis committed official misconduct. She said on Tuesday morning a final decision had yet to be made.

Official misconduct is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 365 days in jail, the spokeswoman said.

1. Anyone who has divorced thrice is not one to suffer quietly for very long. nt

2. The FReeper POV

"Kim Davis is the new Rosa Parks"

As if they would have supported Rosa Parks.

4. Their monument to bigotry

3. she wants to be a martyr...

here's her chance

[struggle4progress]

5. It's better if she's not given the opportunity to play martyr

[RKP5637]

6. Yes, in the big picture that is quite true!!! n/t

11. What's the alternative?

Deny marriage licenses to same sex couples until when (or if) she's elected out of office?

She needs to go to jail or Rule of Law means nothing

[struggle4progress]

14. There seem to be a variety of options.

She'll be in court Thursday on this, I think, since she refused again today to issue a license. A nice explicit court order with a threat of hefty continuing fines would be good

The move towards criminal prosecution is also attractive, since an appropriate conviction strips her of office and bars her from future office

[Matariki]

15. Wouldn't either of those options paint her as a martyr to her supporters?

Frankly I hope both of those options are applied. Especially the second.

She should step down if she truly believes her faith keeps her from putting her signature on marriage licenses. Since she doesn't have the decency then I hope she's forced from office.

21. Not so much as tossing her in jail for contempt would

[GusBob]

7. The judge should fine the state and or county for her misconduct

as someone pointed out, she will be a go fund me millionaire in 2 weeks

[Chan790]

8. The state and the county both want her gone.

It's the county that has been pushing to have her arrested for misconduct...she forestalled it by suing them which ground the "fire Davis for misconduct" train to a halt.

9. She wants to get in the money making grifter business. Dumb repukes will fall all over themselves

sending her money.

[RKP5637]

10. Yep, she's following the Palin approach to $$$$$'s. It's astounding there are so many

damn dumb fools in this country on its way to full scale Idiocracy (and damn close now.)

[Elwood P Dowd]

12. Look for her to start showing up on Fox Fake News and the usual AM/FM hate radio

stations in the near future.

[hifiguy]

18. Bull's eye.

Yep.

[malaise]

13. Bundy version 2

the religious version of the same law breaking against the Federal government - the law is the fugging law - jail her a$$

[RKP5637]

16. Exactly! This IMO has been allowed to go way too far. I think TPTB thought she would eventually come

to her senses, but seems those senses flew away a long time ago.

[hifiguy]

17. I think it is a safe bet that openly defying the lawful order of a federal judge

constitutes official misconduct no matter how it is defined.

She shouldbe cooling her heels in the big house for contempt of court now. Add that jail time on later.

[RKP5637]

19. She has crossed so far over the line now I think she's started to likely piss off some of TPTB

whereas before they might have had some sympathy for her beliefs. Now, those beliefs appear to be deranged, construed and/or she's working some kind of agenda. Or, there is always the chance she is just simply F'en stupid.

[hifiguy]

20. The correlation between fundy religion and bone-deep stupidity

isn't one-to-one but it is damn close to it.

[Monk06]

22. Like all christians she has a Messiah complex. She wants to martyr herself on the cross of

pagan secularism. She has her sights on a conviction and appeal to the SC. So she can turn America back into the christ worshiping nation it always wasn't.

Funny how the Christo-Taliban ignore the fact that the majority of the founders were Deists and Masons who denied the divinity of Jesus.

[RKP5637]

23. Yep, they conveniently forget about your last sentence. Most of them don't know their head from a

hole in the ground, dumber than a bag of rocks.
