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


As far as I'm concerned, these are the facts as I understand them.

 

Kim Davis was refusing to issue, or allow those on her staff to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples based on her religious point of view.

 

She was taken to court and ordered by a Federal Judge to issue marriage licenses to couples that are eligible to receive said license as required by law
.  She once again refused citing her personal religious belief, so she was sent to jail for Contempt of Court (refusing a lawful order by a Federal Judge)
.

 

She has now been released under the condition that she does not interfere with the duties of her office, or those deputies serving under her.  If she does, then she will once again be guilty of Contempt of Court, and faces going back to jail.

 

This has nothing to do with religious freedom and everything to do with the Rule of Law.




There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
