I know the poll choices are somewhat flawed but try to pick the best one.

1/10

 

[McGarnicle]

She's wrong about gay marriage but I support her right to hold her beliefs. If her job involves issuing marriage certificates, including gay marriage certificates, and she refuses to do so, then either fire her or find something else for her to do. Jail/contempt seems a bit nuts.

 

[Two Deep]

I went with assbackwards sea-hag

 

[TobiasFunke]

Is there a Kickstarter or GoFundMe dedicated to "supporting" her yet? Seems like a pretty easy way to make a buck.

 

[3C's]

she's a 4 times divorced hag who should lose her job (at least) if she continues to refuse to do it.

"As an elected official, Davis can't be fired; her impeachment would have to wait until the Legislature's regular session next year or a costly special session"

 

[B-Deep]

i thought the GOP had no tolerance for people who disregard the law...

 

[Road Warriors]

She has every right to hold her beliefs. She has no right to impose her beliefs on the people she is supposed to serve in her position as county clerk.

She can either go against her beliefs and issue the licenses, or hold to her beliefs and find a new job. Can't have both.

 

[B-Deep]

for the record, the lawyers for the people trying to get married said they do not want her thrown in jail

 

[Braktastic]

Would not smash.

But wait, what about the "sanctity of marriage"???

[BowieMercs]

Sea hag

 

[B-Deep]

i wonder how many times she has gone against the bible to issue licenses to a christian marrying a non christian. Or to people from other religions who's unions god would not bless.

 

[3C's]

for the record, the lawyers for the people trying to get married said they do not want her thrown in jail

They just want her to do her job, which she refuses to do. ACLU has filed contempt charges against her.

 

[Scoresman]

Sea hag. She is a horrible woman.

I sure hope those aren't different types of fabrics http://www.trbimg.com/img-55e5b713/turbine/ct-photos-gay-marriage-fight-in-kentucky-20150-007/900/900x506

 

[joffer]

Hold her in contempt. Whatever punishment the law allows for.

 

[Apple Jack]

Three divorces, you have to assume there some kind of downstairs smell issue going on.

 

[General Malaise]

Hold up......FOUR men asked for her large hand in marriage? I didn't know there was THAT much bourbon in Kentucky. Good god, how bad are the pickings there?

 

[RedmondLonghorn]

for the record, the lawyers for the people trying to get married said they do not want her thrown in jail

Who cares?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

She's got breeder's hips. She could probably provide some lucky man with a whole passel of youngins.

No offense.

 

[Apple Jack]

As fun as the three divorce angle is, has that been confirmed? Has a bit of 4tran rumor air to it.

 

[trogg78]

BURN HER!

Her bubbafriend has a tattoo. Whoopsies.

She might be a sweet ride , who knows , but she is nothing to look at. Definitely a bagger

Is that a confederate flag visor on his hat?

No. No chance at all. Zero.

Before I saw her I was totally against gays and gay marriage. After taking a good look at her the idea of boning a dude makes a lot more sense.

She's directly violating a court order which simply requires her to uphold a law. That's contempt. Heck, in my neck of the woods I routinely see people get 30 days in jail for not paying court fines or fees.

Of course it is.

I'm outraged.

A public servant that refuses to follow the law should be treated more harshly, not less.

 

[B-Deep]

so, other than people liking her god more than someone else's, how again is this different from someone trying to impose sharia law in our country?

i mean, that was going to be our doom right? religious zealots imposing their radical views despite the laws governing our country?

she's kind of a terrorist, right?

 

[Zow]

They just want her to do her job, which she refuses to do. ACLU has filed contempt charges against her.

Generally, contempt of court is something either the court or a party with standing has to file. Also, there are two different types of contempt: civil and criminal. This, to me, appears more civil. In a civil contempt the judge could hold her in jail until she agrees to comply with the court order. Criminal contempt usually carries a higher burden of proof before a jury and there it must be shown that she actually violated an order and only then could she get, say, x number of days in jail for sure.

Great 1st sentence. But you do-gooders just can't help yourselves , can you? She's a jackass but if you look closely in your mirror you might catch a glimpse of one too

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Most government jobs require an oath from the office holder to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and to uphold the laws of the State and local jurisdiction. She is not doing so. If her beliefs conflict with her oath, which clearly here they do, the only honorable thing for her to do is to resign. She can then fight the societal fight to turn the laws if she so wishes. What she is doing is dishonorable.

Somebody somewhere on the internetz made this analogy:

"Imagine if you (a woman) went to the DMV to get your driver's license but the clerk was a Muslim man from a country where women had very few rights. Then said clerk refused to issue you your license because his religion dictated that women shouldn't drive."

"As an elected official, Davis can't be fired; her impeachment would have to wait until the Legislature's regular session next year or a costly special session"

Then I change my answer. As an elected official she swore an oath to uphold the law. I have no issue with a contempt finding in that case, and there is obviously just cause for impeachment. Any lawyer worth his salt would advise her to either do her job or resign.

 

[HellToupee]

My mistake on this issue was seeing it was a Chicago Trib story . I missed where this happened in Kentucky.

Yeah I read "clerk" and assumed she was some low level bureaucrat.

also

i am unclear, is dogooder a dig?

because, i mean, on its face it's a pretty miserable insult

it's like saying "you were almost correct, you handsome devil..."

who DOESN'T want to do good?

Pitching a new sequel: Dante & Randal wanna marry but get denied by a God-lady who refuses to do her 80k a year job. Called KENTUCKY CLERKS.

She has a right to her hateful bigoted beliefs but obviously has to find another job.
