oh look. A lawsuit filled in Kentucky against a county clerk for refusing to issue

because she believes she will spend eternity burning in if she signs a same sex marriage license. Sure that is delusional but we as a society should play along with her delusion to avoid being bigoted.

Nope. She's an elected representative of the state and the state can't discriminate here. If this were some underling maybe the licenses could be passed off to someone else, but this chick is making state policy. She has no case whatsoever. She should just resign and get it over with.

And now she's in jail.

You can sometimes get away with ignoring lower courts but SCOTUS doesn't put up with contempt of their decisions.

[Blake]

If she had an R next to her name, the "all Republicans are bigots" circlejerk would be in full swing and we all know it.

Since she's a Democrat, it's "who cares what party she is?"

well the Republicans are the ones that are supporting her.

Too bad SCOTuS didn't make a decision in this case

Bible thumpers are in their own category whether they have a D or an R next to their name. And no one really pays any mind to bible thumpers until one over-zealous dullard makes a spectacle over herself in the name of God.

Their ruling was the basis for arresting them. Of course they have proxies.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

“The court cannot condone the willful disobedience of its lawfully issued order,” said Judge Bunning, who was appointed by President George W. Bush. “If you give people the opportunity to choose which orders they follow, that’s what potentially causes problems.”

The order being violated was from SCOTUS.

I'd Ted Cruz was wing in using the metaphor then so we're you

So all the straight people she put out don't deserve justice? If this is based on a particular supreme court decision that had nothing to do with straights where's the justice for them?

She's in contempt from a case the SCOTuS deamed not worthy of their time

He was able to use context cluesto figure it out so can you

It's not worth anyone's time tbh. It's settled law. Do you really think court cases don't count unless SCOTUS passes an actual ruling on them?

The ignorance/irony in this statement, as she IS the government official forcing HER religious views on ordinary citizens....

Sorry to state the obvious, but, damn.
