Kentucky court clerk....

[JD8]

Given the pinnacle of morality she is..... is she wrong? Should she be jailed?

That food fed to those in jail will afford her the righteous opportunity to loose some weight. Bet she regrets it 24 hrs into her jail time. You can be right and be wrong about the same thing. That fits this lady in my view.

She's collecting $80k a year while refusing to do her job. Even the far-right Heritage Foundation says she's in the wrong. I think her lawyers are setting her up for some hard times. She needs new legal representation.
And the fact she's divorced at least two husbands seems a bit hypocritical

Yes she's wrong. No she shouldn't be jailed. She should be stripped of her position and a deputy clerk willing to follow the law should be interim clerk until a special election can be held.

She should just step down from her position.

She was elected so they can't oust/impeach her until the legislature convenes. I guess she can hang out in jail until then.

She is trying to get fired so that she can sue, that way there can be a ruling on religious freedom vs gay rights. Right now both are protected under the law.

 

[Blinocac200sx]

But this is not REALLY about religious freedom is it? She is free not to work as a court clerk, right?

 

[Kyle78]

Ya I can't see how Religious Freedom can be used for a government position?

And people are free to go somewhere else to get married. Many go to Vegas.

It comes down to gay rights over her rights and while the court has ruled that gays have the right to marry it has also ruled that government can not intrude in a major way on someones religious rights. Forcing her to go against her beliefs or lose her livelihood does that. You notice that she stopped issuing all marriage licensees until it is resolved?
