1.She is an elected official so she can't be fired.

2.The judge actually offered her a compromise that her deputies could handle this and 5 of the 6 deputies - all except her son! - agreed they would do it. SHE turned that down.

She has also refused to resign.

She left the judge literally no other choice.  

I don't know about jail,  but there are plenty of Republicans who say they'd like to see Obama impeached for not somehow not following the Constitution, maybe she could be impeached, but the Judge can't do that.

It will be interesting to see the number of Republicans who lie that they are 'constitutionalists' who come out in support of her unconstitutional position.

Her position is clearly constitutional. Nice try.

I guess you missed the news. The United States Supreme Court disagrees with you.  Actually, they couldn't care less what you say, rightly or wrongly, they and no one else, decide what the Constitution says.

SCOTUS has been wrong several times. Plessy v Furgeson, Roe v Wade, all the rulings concerning the Affordable Care Act. What has happened here is a plain and simple case of judicial activism.

King would be siding with me on this one too.

“One may well ask, ‘How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?’” King continued. “The answer is found in the fact that there are two types of laws: There are just laws and there are unjust laws. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that ‘an unjust law is no law at all.’

“Now, what is the difference between the two?” wrote King. “How does one determine when a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law.”

oh here we go again, you gross fųcking bigot

SCOTUS has been wrong several times. Plessy v Furgeson,
which, as a decision limiting equal rights, is the opposite case to obergefell v hodges

hahaha no. king vocally condemned the church's lukewarm-at-best stance towards equal rights¹, and he would be doing the same today.

relevant how? gay marriage is not against god's moral law.

not to mention that as kim davis was acting as a government official and not as a private citizen, a certain something about "rendering unto caesar what is caesar's" would seem to be relevant.

Gay marriage is against God's moral law as homosexuality is against God's moral law. King would be with me on this one. Your side cannot dispute that.
