"She can never recover the past six days of her life spent in an isolated jail cell."






Kim Davis' inane lawyer upon her release from jail:


"She can never recover the past six days of her life spent in an isolated jail cell."

"If somebody needs to go to jail, I'm willing to go in her place,"
Huckabee told the crowd as he comforted an emotional Davis, who entered to the song, "Eye of the Tiger."

All I can think of is the black men who were convicted because of the color of their skin and vague descriptions by unreliable eyewitnesses who were released on DNA evidence after decades of having their lives stolen from them.

These people make me want to vomit.

She intends to resume her work and continue to deny the licenses to same sex couples.

This reminds me so much of the miscegenation laws before they finally went down.
Even have a Southern Governor involved.

Didn't she say she was going to go back to work and do the same thing? I thought the only way she was going to be released was to agree to issue the licenses.

We can place our own bets about how long it will be before she starts interfering in some way or another.

And a same sex couple comes in it will be the same story from her.

But if she's the only one there and she refuses to issue SSM license, well, she would clearly be interfering with issuing them, right? That would subject her to contempt charges again per the Judge's order, right?

right now she is in the spotlight. What happens 3 months down the road? Our country isn't known for its attention span and memory. We really need to start sending a message to people who refuse to do their damn jobs because of the religion (like pharmacists that won't fill birth control prescriptions). These people need to be put in their place, or be allowed to go elsewhere.

She has already been treated far too leniently so far. It's disgusting to me how this is playing out so far. OTOH people can't/won't pay attention to her forever either.
