Kentucky Clerk Is Jailed For Refusal to Issue Marriage Licenses As A Result Of Her Religious Beliefs

#47

Quote:Having not actually done any research on this topic, what law did she break in order to be sent to jail? Is the law she broke typically a jailable offense?


Supreme court ruled anti gay marriage laws are unconstitutional. She is refusing to issue licenses and was order to do so. Not doing so is putting her in contempt with while seeming extreme is a jailable offense. Judge offered to let it go if she wouldn't stop her deputies from issuing licenses but she refused.
