Poor Kim Davis, whatcha gonna do?

Has she really been married four times or is that just a marvelous inernet rumor that stuck?

What part am I missing about the way this has been managed? Job descriptions change often, a person is presented with their new job requirements, and if they can't fulfill them, they leave. "It's not a good fit." "Things are going in a different direction." "Thanks for your service."

I get that but I don't understand how she's been allowed to still be employed there when she tells the world she's not going to do her job.

She's in an elected position, so they can't just fire her. I guess they would essentially have to impeach her if she's not willing to leave her position willingly. I would assume that now that there's no higher level to go to if she doesn't start performing her job it could be considered contempt of court and the state legislature could begin impeachment proceedings.

Here's what I read, and I'm sorry I can't find the link (I was just searching for the source, but I can't recall which news outlet it was) so take this as you will:

Obviously this can't continue. She will be held in contempt of court and given either 1 year jail time and a $500.00 fine or a lesser sentence of 90 days in jail and a $200.00 (I think) fine.

Her office on the meantime will be issuing licenses.

Since it's clear she won't relent, there is a way to have her removed from office (no one has used the word impeached), but that must be recommended by the legislature to the governor.

In order for the legislature to make that recommendation a series of events must occur, of which her sentence to jail time is the final step.

I'm sure that's slightly inaccurate, but the point is she absolutely can be removed if the situation warrants it.

I'll keep looking for the source.

Are her lawyers using the hell out of her?

I think that goes without saying. Who tells their client to ignore a court order?

The ugly pile of human feces is still refusing.

She'll be held in contempt andprobably get a fine (which will be paid for by her psycho christy supporters no doubt).

And then hopefully jail time, at which point her office will issue the licenses.

I'm just glad she's giving this issue attention and creating precedent. Keep it up, bigot lady! You're crafting your own worst nightmare.

Taz -- this is actually emblematic of a much larger problem: big government. It has become nearly impossible to discipline or terminate government employees thanks to a number of unfair safeguards and protections put in place over the last few decades. Every administration and congress is guilty of it. As an example... The fact that there was no law allowing the Department of Veteran Affairs to fire its own hospital executives based on poor performance, until this past calendar year, is completely reprehensible. Granted those particular employees are not elected; they're hired. But our government and system is broken. This Kim Davis issue is another perfect example. We must better monitor and hold accountable, enforce stricter employment practices/standards, and treat the government like an actual business. Not a bureaucracy.

But she's not required to take their advice.

If sh*tty lawyers received the same punishment as their clients, there'd be scores of them on death row.

She's been summoned to the principal's office:

MOREHEAD, Ky. — A county clerk in Kentucky who has invoked "God's authority" and is defying the U.S. Supreme Court by refusing to license same-sex marriage has been summoned along with her entire staff to explain to a federal judge why she should not face stiff fines or jail time.

U.S. District Judge David Bunning moved swiftly Tuesday after a lesbian couple asked him to find Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis in contempt. Davis told several couples and a crowd of supporters and protesters that her religious beliefs prevent her from sanctioning gay marriage, and then retreated again, closing her office door and blinds to the raucous scene outside.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to intervene Monday night, leaving Davis no legal ground for her continued refusal Tuesday morning. Lawyers for the two gay couples who originally sued her asked the judge Tuesday to find her in contempt, but punish her with only financial penalties, not jail time.

"Since Defendant Davis continues to collect compensation from the Commonwealth for duties she fails to perform," they asked Bunning to "impose financial penalties sufficiently serious and increasingly onerous" to compel her immediate compliance without delay.

Rowan County Attorney Cecil Watkins says the federal court alerted him that a hearing is scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday in Ashland.

I am so sick and tired of Christians. I'm sorry, but I just am. I have so many friends who say "We're not all like that!" but at this point, I don't really care anymore. You don't hear Jews, Buddhists or even Muslims (in this country) denying people equal rights because of their religion. It's ONLY Christians. And frankly, they can all go f*ck themselves.
