[Magdalen] Kim Davis ordered to jail.

[Eleanor Braun]

Not only "render unto Caesar", but also Romans 13:

13Let every person be subject to the governing authorities; for there is no
authority except from God, and those authorities that exist have been
instituted by God. 2Therefore whoever resists authority resists what God
has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgement. 3For rulers are
not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you wish to have no fear of
the authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive its approval; 4for
it is God’s servant for your good. But if you do what is wrong, you should
be afraid, for the authority does not bear the sword in vain! It is the
servant of God to execute wrath on the wrongdoer.5Therefore one must be
subject, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience. 6For the
same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants,
busy with this very thing. 7Pay to all what is due to them—taxes to whom
taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is
due, honour to whom honour is due.
