The Truth About The Arrest of Kim Davis

THE FACTS ABOUT KIM DAVIS ARREST

With everyone making the arrest of Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis political, let's break it down. Davis is in jail for one reason only, not complying with a Federal Judges order. Thus putting her in contempt of court.

To be clear (because opinions out there are providing false information) the Judge is a Republican Conservative Catholic Appointed Judge. He stated in short he does not even agree with SCOTUS decision on Marriage Equality. But people can NOT pick and choose what laws or court orders they choose to follow.

In 2006 SCOTUS stated that indeed government officials 1st amendment rights are indeed knowingly restricted and that is clear upon taking your oath of office.

Keep in mind Davis oath swore to God she would preform her oath of office despite her personal objection to anything . She makes $80,000

To make a FAIR comparison for Christians who object, if a Muslim County Clerk refused to issue marriage licenses due to their religious  objections in issuing a license to someone who believes in a different God. How would you react? 

If a Mormon DMV Clerk refused to register a vehicle because it is against their beliefs?

If a police officer or fire fighter refused to render aid or respond properly to a call because of their religious beliefs ect.... Where should it end???

This is why the 2006 SCOTUS decision was made for those who hold govt jobs.....in fact the jailing of Kim Davis will protect religious freedom as it asserts the above possibilities won't occur...

Where did this all come from? False information given to society that if you site religious objections, you can discriminate without penalty... This is not at all true... AT BEST it means it's a POSSIBLE defense , in Davis case the judge stated in her case it is not a viable legal defense for her to violate her oath of office and not preform her duties in which she swore she would and in which she gets paid to do so.
