Kim Davis Has Been Sent to JAIL

There was a long list in this country of what a person could not do based on other citizen's prejudices.

Interracial couples could not marry in many states.

Blacks could not attend schools or colleges that were "all white"

Entire neighborhoods were (are?) off limits to non whites

Women and Blacks could not vote.

All of those can'ts' were corrected by the Federal government over the years.
Voting rights have been eroded by current Republican controlled State and Federal governing bodies. 

And so we have reached the last Thou shalt not, according to the Christian Right.
Same sex relationships and marriages.  No matter what your personal feelings maybe, it is not the place of other groups and our government to say who can and cannot be married.

We are not a Theocracy.  If we were, there is a very good chance the Kim Davis would have had either one husband or would have been stoned to death.

Some of us who believe in God are misusing the Bible. There is a lot of using passages and ignoring of other passages in the the Good Book. 

We cannot and should not decide that 2 men should not lay together, but multiple spouses is okay.

This scene from a West Wing Season 2 portrays perfectly the misuse of the Bible.

And so tonight, when Davis's supporters and her lawyers, who are rabid anti same sex opponents are in their beds, she will be in a cell sleeping on a cot.

And for what? She also apparently missed reading John 8:7 "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone.."

“The idea of natural law superseding this court’s authority would be a dangerous precedent indeed,” U.S. District Judge David L. Bunning told her today.

So, Mrs Davis has been found in contempt of court, and will remain in jail until she agrees to issue licenses to all who are legally entitled to marry. Her choices are to agree (which makes her an even bigger hypocrite) resign her job (and give up $80,000 per year) or wait in jail until the Governor calls a special session or in regular session which starts January 2016, and relieves her of her elected position. 

Only time will tell what happens to her, but today, the term that we love to bandy about, was indeed true. We are a nation of laws.
