I think she's walking into an area where her god isn't going to appear and bail her out.

For each and every refusal by Sharia Kim Davis to issue a marriage license to a same sex couple upon their request, Kim Davis committed a felony. So, why has she not been charged for these criminal acts? Yes, there does exist a law in the Federal code addressing her actions. The name for her criminal actions is :
Deprivation of (Constitutional) Rights Under Color of Law
Deprivation of (Constitutional) Rights Under Color of Law
So, the question really is, why has the U.S. Department of Justice not charged her?
Properly argued, there is no way her claim of religious beliefs could exonerate her. This just really seems to be a continuation of the lack of pursuit of flagrant violations of constitutional rights (most notably voting suppression and electronic voting manipulations [ i.e. touchscreen vote changing]) which was the apparent policy of the Holder era. By not taking an aggressive position against Kim Davis criminal actions, the Justice Department is opening the door (and rolling out the red carpet) for more acts of religious tyranny and deprivation of constitutional rights. This lack of action on the part of the Justice Department has served as a tacit approval of such philosophies and behavior.
Hence, along with various ALEC written laws and Supreme Court rulings granting supra rights to religious extremist beliefs and demoting secular rights to a subservient status, America now has a growing population of militant, heavily armed groups who are basically becoming the Brownshirt Borg Army of Religious Extremists and Racists. These groups have an entitlement mentality which they interpret as their right to impose their heinous and repugnant beliefs on secular America.
One need only to witness the Oathkeepers threats of physical, weapons based violence against those who would pursue criminal charges against Sharia Saint Kim Davis.

Eric Holder. I think there is a fear by TPTB that they don't want another Waco. However, what they are doing IMO is allowing this to fester and grow. I've been wondering what Loretta Lynch might eventually do with the Kim Davis episode if it continues on and on.
