That's the meme they (the Religious Right) want to create and Ms. Davis is a willing dupe.

(7,875 posts)Yes, that's right- I used the 'e' word. Back in ancient times, Christians refused to obey Roman law because Jesus. Frankly, I see very little growth in 2000 years.
And now, when she gets fired for not doing her job in defiance of a ruling from the highest court in the land, she'll act like someone fed her to a lion.

(670 posts)I'm sick of this twerp. What did they think was going to happen? Now, just to be a jerk I'm going to play the race card. How long ago would she have been fired for this crap if she was black or Hispanic?

(306 posts)Ok lets fast forward to when the US marshals come to her office and arrest her, because honestly we all know it will come to that. So while she's in jail what will become of her position ?
Will the county allow the office of county clerk to remain vacant ?
Is there not some sort of contingency that has to be followed by the county in the absence of someone who is unable to perform their duties ?
If she's jailed long enough...(and she should be)... and that time exceeds the time of her elected position how will it play out ?

(7,017 posts)if they won't issue lic then keep moving down the line until they find someone who will do the job. Get the governor in there if needed to issue the license.

(8,401 posts)At this point, the answer is not to find another person to do the job. The answer is to throw this woman in jail for contempt.

(2,382 posts)... the Big G supposedly created us in his own image, right? And, according to y'all, the Big G don't make no mistakes, nosirree. So if the Big G is all-seein', all-knowin', and generally on top o' shit, then gay people must be part of His Great Plan, cuz remember, the Big G don't make no mistakes. So whyn't you just step on up an' tell Him, "HEY! What the hell you thinkin', makin' people gay? That ain't no way to do!"
Now, y'all cherry-pick verses from Leviticus to justify your malicious bigotry, so that must mean y'all are partial to the Old Testament God, and y'all gotta know, He can be one MEAN mo' fo'! Dude's got SERIOUS anger management issues! 'Member what he say to Abraham in "Highway 61 Revisited"? "... next time you see me comin', you better run!"
Well, I'd be strappin' on my fastest kicks if I wuz you, Kimmie baby! Too bad... y'all don't look like you built for speed.
So you see, Ms. Davis, even translated into you native dialect, your arguments simply do not withstand scrutiny.
Good luck in court, by the way. Y'all are gonna NEED it!
