Ms Davis stood her ground God Bless her for having standards!
For having standards? Good grief! Tell me something. Are you totally naive to the fact that Kim Davis committed the sin of adultery when she got divorced and remarried?

You're talking about killing somebody, though.
This Kim Davis story is about her LITERALLY stamping/signing a document. She is in direct violation of her sworn oath.
Just like the federal gov't is forcing the mayor of Austin to enforce federal immigration laws, the federal govt should force Kim Davis to do her job or fire her.
Last time I checked, the Supreme Court outweighs a county clerk. When Kim Davis took the position as county clerk, she swore an oath to uphold the law of the land. Like it or not, same sex marriage is the law of the land. If her personal opinions will not allow her to perform her duties as a government employee, she can quit her job. Otherwise, legally she must issue the same sex marriage licenses.
If you take emotions and opinions out of this story and go strictly on facts and law, Kim Davis has no defense. She is flat out wrong.
I'm glad to hear that lawsuits will soon be piling up against her
Maybe it really is a wrong - after all, the clerk, and a lot of other people, keep trying person after person and still don't get it right. Maybe it isn't them after all, maybe marriage should just be done away with and have it be every person for himself. then, no county clerk would have to choose between their religion and keeping a job that has duties that they don't want to have to do.

The fact that you are glad to see her get punished is all I need to know. The anti-Kim liberals, as liberals usually are, refuse to seek any solution that works for both parties. This has more to do with a biased against Christian people who do not support homosexuality than what is fair and right under the law.
How about this? If SSM is against your religion, then don't marry someone of the dame sex. Who I choose to marry has no effect on your life. Live your life and I'll live mine.
Then stop forcing people to acknowledge and endorse gay marriage. Your argument is like saying, hey don't support dog fighting? Then don't breed dogs to fight! My argument is that I don't even want to be near the dog fighting arena, much less take money from the participants. I want nothing to do with it. That's our religious freedom given to us under the LAW. Kim should have never been forced to put her stamp of approvement on a gay marriage license.
Your comment suggests that SSM can exist in a bottle and has NO effect on Christian's lives. Well a good Christian friend of mine just graduated college to become a therapist. I asked her what she would do if a gay couple comes to her for marriage counseling. She said, she honestly didn't know. She could potentially be forced to toss aside her religious beliefs. That's having quite an effect on someone, don't ya think?
