Oh hell! Here we go! Oathkeepers vow to 'intercede' if U.S. Marshals try to take Kim Davis into custody again
Not all of their constituents are stupid, but many of the ones that are, are the actual voters. It's one reason why I wish more people would vote, so that the politicians will have to appeal to a broader spectrum.
No need to worry about Muslim cab drivers not transporting alcohol. Cruz is wrong about that. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/religion/2008-09-09-muslim-taxis_N.htm
I don't understand why she wasn't just fired? She's a moron. You can have your opinion, but if you feel so strongly about it, quit your job.
Yes, she is. However, the only way to remove an elected official in Kentucky is through impeachment, which isn't likely in such a red state, given the topic.

Now she saying that she won't sign or allow her name on the marriage license, which could potentially make them invalid.
I'm betting when all the dust settles, none of these marriages will be deemed invalid. They'll work-around whatever legal complexity she's caused.
This. I like how Evangelicals decide individually how to weigh the severity of sins. So tell me, who really makes a mockery of the sanctity of marriage; a woman married four times or a gay couple that wants to be married?
But...but...but...the 4 divorces and the infidelity happened BEFORE she found God. Proclaiming yourself as a Christian automatically erases everything you've done up to that point. If you proclaim it loud enough, you get the right to judge other people.
Kim Davis loses another round in court. Also some insight into why she just doesn't go work somewhere where there won't be a conflict between her conscience and her job. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/why-kentuckys-kim-davis-wont-find-different-job Why Kentucky’s Kim Davis won’t find a different job One of the oddities of the Kim Davis story in Kentucky is the obvious remedy. The Kentucky clerk has a job in which she’s supposed to issue marriage licenses, but Davis doesn’t want to issue licenses to couples she deems morally inadequate. So why doesn’t Davis find some other job in which her responsibilities won’t conflict with her religious views? Indeed, given her public notoriety, if she asked far-right leaders for a paid position somewhere, Davis probably wouldn’t have much trouble landing another gig – one which her conscience would be comfortable with. Last night, the clerk explained her perspective. Kentucky clerk Kim Davis on Wednesday night explained to Fox News’ Megyn Kelly why she has still refused to resign despite numerous failed attempts to receive an accommodation for her religious beliefs. “If I resign I lose my voice,” Davis said. “Why should I have to quit a job that I love, that I’m good at?” I imagine that was a rhetorical question, but the answer isn’t exactly complicated. If you have a job that requires you to do things you consider morally objectionable, you have a choice: meet your professional obligations anyway or find a different job. Davis’ argument is that she should continue to be paid to perform duties she refuses to do – to the point that she’s comfortable defying court rulings, her oath of office, and court orders. As for Davis’ belief that she’ll lose her “voice” if she gets a different job, I have no idea what that means. She can continue to speak her mind on whatever topics she chooses, whether she’s a county clerk or something else entirely. Davis need not receive taxpayer money in order to have a “voice.” Meanwhile, in the courts, the Kentucky clerk continues to strike out. The Lexington Herald-Leader reported this morning: U.S. District Judge David Bunning refused to grant Davis an emergency stay that she requested for the preliminary injunction he issued last month, ordering her to resume issuing marriage licenses. […] At a hearing Sept. 3 in Ashland, where Bunning sent Davis to jail for five days for contempt of court, the judge expanded his mandate to include all eligible couples in Rowan County, rather than just the couples who sued Davis…. In a five-page order Wednesday, Bunning denied the stay motion that Davis subsequently filed with him. The judge said he had no intention of letting Davis grant marriage licenses to eligible couples who are plaintiffs in the case while denying licenses to others. Note, the ACLU filed a motion with Judge Bunning this week, accusing Davis of defying a court order from two weeks ago. He did not address that motion yesterday. As for last night’s interview, Fox’s Megyn Kelly asked Davis, “You’re prepared to go back to jail if that’s what it takes?” The clerk replied, “Whatever the cost.”
