KY Clerk Saga update

In the backlink , the con men who think they are actually the boss of us tossed a Kentucky clerk in jail for refusing to comply with Supreme court mandate that states issue gay marriage licenses.  In that post I wrote (yellow highlight just added):, "Government should release her from jail and quietly fire her.  That is the best possible outcome they can achieve.  The longer they have her in custody for not genuflecting to their authority, the more likely that this will blow up into something much bigger than government ever imagined.  I will count it as failed intimidation if they simply release here from jail and fire her.  The liberal part of their actions was to jail her in an attempt to scare her into compliance.  That was the shark jump aspect of it, not their requirement that she follow the law.

There is also a good chance that they will just let her out of jail with a warning, let her go back to work and just allow others in her office that do not have her religious convictions that she does to handle the gay permits.  That really would have been the most intelligent thing to do in the first place.".

The yellow highlight was the weakest possible response from government.  They not only did not keep her in jail as they promised to; they didn't even fire her.  All they did was tell her not to interfere with others who would not have religious objection to the act: "Kim Davis... walked out of jail on Tuesday after the U.S. district court judge who found her in contempt said he was satisfied licenses were being issued in accordance with a U.S. Supreme Court decision. U.S. District Judge David Bunning ordered her release after six days in jail, saying she "shall not interfere in any way, directly or indirectly, with the efforts of her deputy clerks to issue marriage licenses to all legally eligible couples."  If she tries to interfere, "that will be considered a violation of this Order and appropriate sanctions will be considered," Bunning said."

Clearly the government lost face here even though it did a hasty retreat so as not to get its ass kicked even harder.  Why did the government do it?  Because it wanted to cede power back to the people?  NO.  It did what it did out of fear for first its jobs and second its lives.  When the people gather in numbers like this, anything can happen, especially when religion is involved since it tends to whip up emotions: "Davis was greeted by over one thousand singing and shouting supporters. "I just want to give God his glory," an emotional Davis said in brief remarks to supporters after being released from jail. "She will do her job good and she will serve the people as they want her to serve. She will also be loyal to God and she is not going to violate her conscience," her lawyer, Mathew Staver, said, with his arm around Davis. She was also flanked by Republic presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.".

And yes, fake GOP parasite Huckabee was there to get his face in front of cameras.  What a phony.
