[QUOTE="Zaphod Beeblebrox, post: 2787611, member: 4606"] She was ordered by a federal judge to do her job. Her job is, among other things, to issue marriage licenses. She is in jail, not because Kim Davis (her name is Kim, right?) refused to follow the law, but because the Court Clerk refused. It's called contempt of court, and if she thinks she's going to win some lawsuit over it, she's nuts. If she can't in good conscience issue the licenses (and I get that), her remedy is to resign. The judge can't make Ms. Davis issue licenses, but he damn sure can make the court clerk do it. The fact that deputy clerks are now doing it hurts her even more. In short, it's not a question of surrendering her individual rights. It's a question of fulfilling her obligations to every citizen of her county as part of her duty. If she don't wanna do it, she needs to quit. End of moral dilemma. [/QUOTE]
