So how long is she going to stay in jail for? I hope she's not getting paid tax payer money to sit in a jail cell making tax payers also pay for her prison stay.
There is no way out of this except for her to resign or start doing her job.
And who is paying for her jail time? The taxpayer.
Manners and giving respect are going the way of the church. Nobody from either side of this issue takes two seconds to understand the other. Even the tone in here is angry and filled with mob-rule. This is a direct result of...well, you'll have to figure it out because you surely aren't listening.
The problem is there isn't really any foreseeable compromise from the other side. This isn't like a union wanting higher pay from an employer that wants to pay peanuts. We are talking Christians who are in elected offices denying gays the right to be married by law because it is against their beliefs. The Christians don't want to see the other side and the gays just want to be equal under the law.
LOL, that is one of the funniest posts on here. I'm glad I wasn't sipping on my iced tea when I read this.
granny longhair.....LMAO! And it would be poetic justice if her cellmate is "Large Marge" the 300 pound lesbian.

It really is troubling that people who are condemning her for her decision to not issue SSM licenses are insinuating that being pushed/forced into a same sex relationship is 1) something that happens, and 2) is something that would be deemed horrible enough that it is a "punishment" she might receive. Seriously, how do you not see the disconnect?
Frankly, I fail to understand how some of the gay members aren't offended by some of these posts.

Some, such as I, believe contempt of court always warrants jail time. No matter the issue, no matter how I feel about the original court decision. All SCOTUS decisions should be followed to the letter, as it is our highest court. Of over 3,000 counties, all but 2 are now complying, including the county Davis worked in.
Not all liberals support SSM marriage, actually I know a lot that don't especially Baptists from the South in the AA community that always vote for DEM. I am a mostly GOP voter but I support SSM. Issue has nothing to do with politics.

Oh, I get the "she deserves to be in jail" sentiment, and I can certainly see where fair minded people may think that is just. That isn't the issue. It is the snarky comments basically saying she is going to be stuck in a same sex relationship, and the implication that that kind of relationship is a punishment, was what I was referring to as offensive. How can someone say out of one side of their mouth that she is an awful bigot for disapproving of SSM but say out of the other side of their mouth "but hey, maybe she'll get hers, and be forced into a same sex relationship. That'll teach her!" and think that is okay?
