the problem being, of course, an activist judicial branch that keeps discovering new and novel "understandings"
such as reinventing the definition of marriage to include perverts

you mean people like these good folk?
why?
were they perverted?
tell us traci, why do you think black people are perverted?
and yet this link also states; Davis had refused to issue marriage licenses to any couples, gay or straight, since late June when the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage.
Seems to be this was an issue of religious intolerance and not someone being forced to do something against her beliefs, otherwise why stop issuing them to heterosexual couples?

Because she believes she is going to hell if her name was on it?

because she believes that having her name on them indicates that she approves of their perverted practice or recognizes the fraud of homosexual "marriage"
We have a winner.

Her name on them implies consent/agreement
She never had to sign anything. If you were too lazy to read the statute, not my fault.
If she was upset with her name printed, then either cross it out, or quit. She did not do the honorable thing.
Consent would connote she personally is condoning the gay marriage, when in fact she is not, but it is the county/state for whom she was elected. Nowhere in the legislation does it convey the authority is vested in the actual person, it conveys it is vested in the office, which if filled by a duly elected official.
Extract from the Kentucky law.

Since the time when the District Court replaced these courts, the clerk has no longer had judicial duties, and the name of the office has been
abbreviated to county clerk to more accurately reflect the nature of the office.
The duties of the county clerk fall into the general categories of clerical duties of the fiscal court: issuing and registering, recording and keeping various legal records, registering and purging voter rolls, conducting election duties, and conducting tax duties.

Nothing in the above gives her ANY authority to refuse legal applications.
Her belief system does NOT enter into it, both morally and legally.

Similar to the Secretary's/Treasure's signatures on our currency indicating a tacit approval of embezzlement, money laundering, fraud and general greed? :think:

exactly! :banana:
Youre an idiot, her name was on them whether she signed them or not.
The reason they are now saying those licenses being issued right now may not be legal, is because the clerks name has to be on them for them to be legal according to kentucky state law and they are just scratching it off and inserting the county name, which has already been posted for you who are brain dead.
No, she shouldnt have to quit, the constitution protects against religious discrimination too.
The cowardly supreme court and or lawmakers need to rectify this conflict in the law.

Take your pick, you're surrounded.
You've lost.
The Nation has moved on.
If you want to position Christianity against gay marriage then you'll only diminish Christianity, you'll take nothing from the Gays.
You will only strengthen them.
The GOP front runner Trump has said "It's settled Law".
You can move on from this and not die on that hill.
Find some other social issue that is more important.
Or Stand with George Wallace/Kim Davis in the doorway.
History is waiting.
Choose wisely.
I stand with Kim and if it ever comes that i am sent to jail for that, so be it.
