Kentucky clerk still won't issue same-sex marriage licenses; What is your opinion on this article?

Regardless of who filed, it still happened. According to the gospel of Luke, if either party divorces their spouse they become adulterers. Considering she's been married AND divorced three times........"he who is without sin, cast the first stone." (John 8:7) Just going to put this right here.

It is my understanding (and this is purely RUMINT) that she starting getting involved in church/her walk with Christ after initiating her current marriage. I understand her concerns, but totally disagree with her approach.

According to the article: As an elected official, Davis can't be fired. Any impeachment of her would have to wait until the legislature's regular session next year or could come during a costly special session. The law is the law. She was elected to perform her duties accordingly. She hasn't, and therefore should resign or wait to be impeached. If she chooses to wait, she'll be impeached in jail, and that's a lot of jail time.

My take on this subject totally flipped when they put her in jail. A fine I'd agree with, even house arrest, but to put someone in handcuffs and send them to jail is an insult to our first amendment. This is the first time I can think of when someone has been jailed exclusivley for their long standing, documented, religious beliefs. While no employee of the state or Government should exercise their personal discretion in execution of their jobs (we are paid to follow the law) It should never be a crime to stand up for your religion, the Judge should have used a better tool for this case. I completely stand with her today.

Sgt Richard Buckner - But is upholding her oath now vs. when she was elected fair to those she's supposed to support? She wasn't of this brand of Christianity when she was first hired, so if she converted to Islam in the middle of session, we're supposed to bend to her now new religion? I don't care about anyone's religious beliefs. The only thing I'm worried about is can she do the job? If her religious views in any way cloud her judgment, or preclude her from preforming her duties, she has to go. She is an elected official so firing her isn't really on the table at the moment. This is a far fetched scenario, but you wouldn't have a Marine with you in the beginning of a firefight tell you "SGT Buckner I cannot shoot at that person because Buddha told me all life is precious". I'm sure that Marine would discover seven layers of pain from every extension of your body onto his, and he would find out how Leavenworth feels when you (and the Corps) get done with him. If your religious views make it so you cannot do the job, then you need to go. As far as locking her up, she told a judge what she wasn't going to do, after being given a chance to do what was told. Anyone would be locked up at that point. You cannot tell a sitting Judge what you will and will not do in his/her court after they give you an ultimatum.

Sgt Richard Buckner - As they should. I used that scenario on purpose being if you joined the service and suddenly find God (which is fine by me), your beliefs should not interfere with your duties. We've had religious objectors in this war who were grunts, find God, still want to be a grunt but not do their job. You cannot have it your way. In her case, she came into this job one way. Found Jesus, and turned another. If her finding Jesus prevented her from doing what was legally found to be just, she should've done the right thing and quit or allow someone else to assume her position and she into another where her religious views won't hinder the mission. For a service member, they either need to ETS, retire, or just get out honorably somehow. You can't have it both ways without there being some kind of issue that someone's going to have to deal with in the future.

Did you know that if you don't live in Kentucky and you don't vote that you have a right to not care and let Kentuckians decide? I know right? Mind blown.

She be fired! Or atleast resign! If you are NOT going to do the job you don't need to keep it!

MAJ Keira Brennan - Everyone has a right to their own beliefs Ma'am. Even God allows that. That's supposed to be one of the great things about the USA is you can believe, have your on opinion, and say what you want.

MAJ Keira Brennan - And I reserve that right of freedom also Have a great day.

Cpl James Waycasie - Leviticus 20:13 - kill the homosexuals!!!! (like me)

MAJ Keira Brennan - That changed in the New testament Ma'am. That was God's law given to Israel. Jesus came and taught to love everyone. Don't blame me for what God wrote, take it up with him if you have issues with him. Your issue isn't with me, Ma'am. I have homosexual friends, some of the finest people I met live "alternative lifestyles. I am not a homosexual, but I don't go around holding signs and giving them hell. I will pay for my sins and what I do just like everybody else, including you, ma'am will do. Never know, if we met, we might become good friends also Ma'am
