"Pray for Kim Davis! Late last night the Supreme Court denied our emergency appeal to keep Kim out of jail. Even though they can go to any of 137 other clerks, today the militant homosexuals who sued her will be on her front step FORCING her to choose between obeying Scripture or going to jail."
Okay.
Well first of all, Kim is exercising her freedom of CHOICE. Which as we all know, merely means you can't prosecuted for your beliefs. So on the first test, yes - Kim is exercising her freedom of religion.
But ...
She also took an oath of office which specifically states she'll uphold the laws that are made. So ....
Kim Davis is standing firm on something she should recuse herself from. If you can't do the job as dictated by the highest court in the land, she simply should stand aside so that someone can do her job for her.
This isn't about the "militant homosexuals," nor does it have anything to do with the other 137 clerks. It has everything to do with doing your job, even if you don't agree.
As with most things conservative, there's a blatant hypocrisy here. If I was being forced to do something against my personally held beliefs, these same conservatives would be the first to say: "just find another job if you're not happy." Well ... why isn't that the same thing here?
Seriously folks, if you're going to attack something for persecuting your beliefs, then maybe it's time you take your own medicine ... do your job, recuse yourself or step down to become a Walmart greeter Ms. Davis.
