I think it's time to jail the KY clerk for contempt

MOREHEAD, Ky. (AP) — The Latest in the refusal of a Kentucky county clerk to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples (all times local):

The Latest: Kentucky clerk again refuses to grant license

10:20 a.m.

William Smith Jr. and James Yates walked out of the clerk's office, shaking their heads in bewilderment.

Two months ago, the day after the U.S. Supreme Court legalized gay marriage across the nation, Yates got down on one knee and proposed to Smith, his partner of more than a decade.

They wanted to plan a summer wedding, so went days later to Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis' office for a license, and were turned away. That first time, they were shocked by the rejection.

Anti-Gay Kentucky Clerk Defies Court For Third Time, Appeals To SCOTUS

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 8/27/2015 11:00 am

A Kentucky county clerk who has refused to issue any marriage licenses since the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in June lost an appeal of her case in the Sixth Circuit yesterday. The federal appeals court held that the clerk, Kim Davis, cannot cite her personal religious views as a reason to stop a government office from performing its duties.

Earlier today, Davis’ office once again defied the court by denying a marriage license to a same-sex couple trying to receive a license for a third time.

8. No. She's elected. nt

10. So she'd have to be impeached?

Oh boy...

[riderinthestorm]

14. Yup and the KY Senate is controlled by Rethugs so she'll never be convicted

see jberryhills analysis in this short thread. Very insightful and interesting and rings true for me.

3. Yes, I think cooling her heels in a jail cell for a while might bring some enlightenment.

Perhaps the fact that she put her hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the constitution, as opposed to the other way around, etc. might eventually come to her.

If she can't perform the requirements of the job, then she needs to find another job.

4. The clerk needs to be held in contempt

[joeybee12]

5. Kick and update...she closed the office due to "computer upgrades"

What a coward.

[taught_me_patience]

6. She's thriving on the attention she's getting

This little protest won't last much longer. Her supervisors will tell her to comply or be fired and she'll quietly start issuing licenses next week. We need to ignore Kim Davis.

9. She's elected and can't be fired nt

[taught_me_patience]

12. Ok, they'll start imposing fines.

She'll cave real fast at $1,500/day.

[riderinthestorm]

15. Who will fine her? She's elected

see jberryhills description of what's happening in this short thread...this is the best description of what's going down that I've seen...

7. I am sure the GOP is looking for an ideal case to take to the supreme court

I expect that she will not be funding her defense

11. Jberryhill has excellent info on this other thread

13. Oh I think she'd *love* to be held in comtempt.

Getting jailed for Jesus would be like hitting the mother lode for these morons. Imagine the Go Fund Me account she'd get!

[Lyric]

16. That's her big mistake, though. GoFundMe refuses to allow fundraising

for people who commit criminal or illegal acts. So if she gets jailed for contempt, her GoFundMe account will be closed and the funds revoked.

[Sheldon Cooper]

17. Ahh I did not know that

[briv1016]

19. So a website and paypal account instead.

18. Based upon what I've read she can't be right now

The way I understand it is the last stay is in effect until midnight Monday night.
