[Magdalen] Kim Davis ordered to jail.

Ah, but now she's getting to be a martyr for her faith. In my opinion, she should be fired, but apparently, since she's an elected official, they can't fire her.

Are clerks of the court elected everywhere? We have five people running for the office here, one of them a convicted felon. I think clerks, sheriffs and treasurers should all be hired by municipalities for their qualifications, not elected for their popularity.

Good thing with a woman who so believes in traditional marriage that she's on 
her fourth husband. Dueling scriptures indeed!

And of course, there's the Quaker clerk who refuses to issue gun permits for 
religious reasons, and the teetotaler who refuses to sign off on a state liquor 
license and the folk who believe Black people are the "Sons of Ham" so don’t 
have any rights at all.

Gotta love that freedom of conscience stuff -- especially when she's going to 
jail for defying a court order, and not her religious beliefs that she's free to 
hold.

Cheers,
Jim
