She is denying people's rights by not issuing them marriage licenses in accordnce with the law. Her religious views are immaterial.
Look at it from the other side; If she was allowed to do this, then the citizens of other counties could elect County Clerks to nullify the law of the land.
That would not end well.
Yeah, but jail !?
Agree.
Hotwheels, for a local example...no one tried to jail Scott Walker and...whats the name of the senate leader?...for allegedly breaking senate procedural law...they went ahead and tried to recall them. Though the Madison liberals would have loved it, it wasn't even an option.
The Dems in both houses ran and hid out of state to avoid being arrested for refusing to show up to "work" IIRC. (In WI a few years ago)
What other option is there other than jail for this broad? She refused to follow a judicial order.
I like her gumption, but she is wrong.
I think there were recall petitions on some of the Dems who fled the state but they never got enough signatures? Memory is foggy.
On the Kentucky clerk...its not that I disagree with her jail time, its that its an indefinite sentence. If the judge was like "30 days in jail, then another contempt charge if you don't change your mind or resign" that would have been much more rational than just locking her up until she recants on her beliefs.
