Kim Davis a political prisoner?

She's trying to say it does, but it's been replaced by a note about federal mandate, which is all her office stands for anyway. So I really doubt it will. They've been federally recognized.

to be fair, I'm not sure Davis was saying they weren't legally valid. IIRC, what she took umbridge at was the licenses being issued in the name of the county clerk- her. (basically, her argument was that having someone else sign the licenses on her behalf would still be considered a sin, so wasn't really an accommodation, since it didn't resolve the actual issue.) to be honest, as long as the altered licenses are valid, that part doesn't bother me. ( as long as the licenses are valid, you could issue them in the name of mickey mouse, and I doubt anyone would care much)

No, she specifically said she did not think they are valid because they do not carry her name, signature or authorization.

You're giving her too much credit. She is a terrible human being, remember. ;p

ah. in which case, yep, she's trying to pull a fast one again. To be honest, the sooner she can be fired, the better.

I read that in Samuel Jackson's voice

So apparently her being jailed is worse than a teenage boy being arrested for bringing a clock to school: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b0fde8b0cceae2

Mike Huckabee is at it again. "JUST ignore the Supream Court of the US".

Mike Huckabee should perhaps have actually read the Supreme Court opinion before shooting his mouth off- the Supreme Court DID NOT introduce a NEW right for gay people to get married. what the Supreme Court ruled was that gay people come under the Equal protection clause of the constitution- thus, they have technically ALWAYS had the right. In fact, what the Supreme Court was ding in this case is they were technically acting as a check on the executive branch. If the Supreme Court can't say "look, according to the Constitution, you are wrong" to the executive branch, you have broken the checks and balances established in the constitution.
