Davis had argued that her Apostolic Christian faith prevented her from recognizing such marriages.

For her this is ... not a defiance-of-the-court issue. This is a conscience issue."

She is basically telling Judge Bunning and the 6th Circuit and the Supreme Court that she doesn't care what they say...

"I'm willing to face my consequences, and you all will face your consequences when it comes time for judgment," she said. "It's plain and simple."

It IS plain and simple. If she's not able to do her job for whatever reason, she should quit/be impeached and become...IDK...a Sunday school teacher. No matter what she says, it's defiance of the court and she should get punished for that. Fuck lawmakers who side with her, they're clearly not doing their jobs either...

This woman obviously wants to be a "martyr," and when/if she is fined, jailed, impeached, and/or anything else, she will no doubt have the time of her life playing that role to the hilt. No, make that "continue" to have the time of her life, because I'm convinced that she

Davis won her $80,000-a-year office in November, running as a Democrat

Don't forget that her twins were conceived by her future-third-husband while she was still married to her second husband.

Christianity sure is convenient in how it lets you judge others as if your past never happened.

But all that was beforeeeeee she was SAVED! so it doesn't count.

I have very little tolerance for people who take jobs with duties they then refuse to perform because of their religous beliefs and even less for people who do it while they are being paid by the government. We have separation of church and state for a reason. I don't care if you're a county clerk refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, a drugstore pharmacist refusing to sell contraception, or a vegan grocery store clerk refusing to sell meat, you took the job knowing that duties you might object to would, or could, be part of the job. Get out of the way and make space for someone who will do the job you're unwilling to do.

I hope she gets impeached and heavily fined.

It gets worse - she has the cheek to deny same-sex couples the right to get a marriage licence yet she has divorced three times and married four times.

Also, quoting from the article:

"But the Moreland native’s past raises questions of whether she is a hypocrite in the application of her faith.

For instance, Davis gave birth to twins after divorcing Wallace, according to the US News & World Report. McIntyre was the father, the news outlet said, but Davis ended up adopting them."

Thanks for the additional evidence of her hypocrisy. I wonder if that last sentence isn't missing a word, though. Kim Davis wouldn't need to adopt twins she had given birth to, so I'm assuming that it's Joe Davis (her current husband) who adopted them!

This woman makes me sick. You are there to DO YOUR FUCKING JOB! Your beliefs have NOTHING to do with it. This christian says GET OUT.
