"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."

These people make me want to vomit.

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

Show that piece of shit something.

(26,260 posts)She looks exactly the same, in both photos. Are we sure that's not a cardboard cut out and they are just posing with it?
onecaliberal
(32,829 posts)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.

(24,407 posts)We can place our own bets about how long it will be before she starts interfering in some way or another.
awoke_in_2003
(34,582 posts)she should not have been allowed out if she can't do the task. What if she is the only one in the office one day, and a gay couple comes in?
onecaliberal
(32,829 posts)And a same sex couple comes in it will be the same story from her.
There are a lot of great people that need jobs, get rid of that hood ornament and let someone who wants to work in there.
Proud Liberal Dem
(24,407 posts)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?
awoke_in_2003
(34,582 posts)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.
Proud Liberal Dem
(24,407 posts)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.

Oh, wait, Ireland approved same sex marriage. They'll write ballads to the couples she denied marriage licenses and she'll come off worse than the Black and Tans.
