Kentucky has legalized same-sex marriage under the June ruling of the Supreme Court which states all States must allow same-sex marriage. The Supreme Court trumps Kentucky.
I honestly don't get why people don't get this. It is legal in Kentucky, thereby Kim Davis is infringing on the rights of the homosexuals and heterosexuals seeking marriage licenses.
So she basically wants the terms of her job to change,
The terms of her job were changed - post-election!
This is a consequence of multiculturalism - divided USA values - that the American peeps will need to sort out (since their votes don't seem to have a voice - you remember?).
Gay marriage has been voted DOWN in multiple states - you remember?
The terms of her job were changed - post-election!

I'm surprised that you seem surprised by this.
Hello! Welcome to 2015. Most states are now voting for it. Did you know at one point most states voted against letting blacks and whites marry?
Her term started in January, even then the writing was on the wall for this. She can't exactly claim that its a complete surprise.

True but until now the Supreme Court really didn't get involved in these issues (other than specific rights for states that allowed same-sex civil unions.) This ruling proved that gay marriage bans on the state level and national laws like DOMA are unconstitutional as per the 14th amendment.
So her FOUR marriages, Adultery, and a child by a man NOT her husband(when she conceived) are OKAY?
YES. Under the authority of God, she surely pretty strongly feels that her adulterous sex acts are far less offensive before God than the sex acts that married same sex couples perform.
Oh for goodness sake. This woman thinks too much of herself. As a clerk, even an elected clerk, she's just filling out paperwork. It's not up to her to make legal judgement calls about the potential marriage. That's what I think so many people don't understand about this situation. Anyone in that job might very well have their own ideas about marriage, could be making side glances at a couple...don't like the looks of them, imagine they have 6 months at the most. Just do your freaking job and think whatever you want about the folks you are serving.

No they weren't. Terms of her job was to follow the law and fill out paperwork. She doesn't have to personally approve of every couple who applies. Doesn't have to like them. Doesn't have to think they are adorable.
If your job is to issue marriage licenses, and refusal to issue marriage licenses based on discrimination has been ruled to be unconstitutional, then you are required to issue marriage licenses. If you don't want to do your job, quit.
What Constitutional authority was used to "rule" acts of the people unconstitutional?
What Constitutional authority does the federal government have to regulate marriage?
When did the Tenth Amendment become null and void?
The language of the Constitution is such that anyone can understand its meaning.
The only reason to "interpret" the meaning of a simple document is to pervert and distort it as has been done.
She needs to remain caged until she resigns, and a new election to replace her is completed.
