Quote:Eric, I agree with everything you wrote here however I think putting this lady in jail was way over the top.

Here are just a few examples of others not following the law and no action has been taken:

 

When President Obama and AG Holder decided they no longer agreed with DOMA they simply quit enforcing that law.

 

There are federal laws against the distribution, sale and use of marijuana but those laws are certainly not being enforced in Colorado or Oregon.

 

Sanctuary cities are breaking or not enforcing immigration laws and no one seems to care. One lady in San Francisco was murdered by an illegal that was released from custody because San Fran is a sanctuary city.

 

I'm not an attorney and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night so maybe someone can explain how some clerk in Kentucky can receive all this attention and be jailed (with no bail) and others are free to not enforce the law. Honest question.

 

I think she was put in jail for defying a court order.   A judge ordered her to do her job according to the law, she refused.   You cannot defy a judge and get away with it. 

 

So, if you want to get someone thrown in jail in the examples you cite?   Get someone to defy a court order.   They'll go to jail.  Count on it.
