Here are the first three paragraphs of Jesse Byrnes\’ article at thehill.com:
Kentucky clerk Kim Davis indicated Monday she would not interfere with her deputies issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples but that she did not want her name on them.
“If any of them feels that they must issue an unauthorized license to avoid being thrown in jail, I understand their tough choice and I will take no action against them,” Davis said in a statement read outside the courthouse.
“However, any unauthorized license that they issue will not have my name, my title or my authority on it,” Davis added. “Instead, the license will state that they are issued pursuant to a federal court order.”
Evidently Kim Davis has decided it is her prerogative to make up the rules as she goes along. And, in this case, her idea of the rules are that same-sex marriage licenses can be issued, but without her necessary authorization.
Well, it isn\’t her prerogative, and she can\’t make up her own rules.
If I were the judge, I would give her a choice. Resign immediately or go to jail until she follows the law. No more chances. They\’re all used up.
Enough of this BS for once and for all.
