Having her name on them was her issue AFTER being jailed and since being released... (WRONG)
Sorry bub...You weren't following close enough. She was held in contempt of court on September 3rd. Her public statement for WHY she wouldn't issue certificates was release on September 1st. Her attorneys asked that an accommodation be made by having the clerks name removed from the marriage license.....Yes, this was BEFORE she was jailed.
Can't believe you continue this charade...why aren't you irate about her deviance of separation of church and state instead of trying to defend this idiot.
The "separation of church and state" is a cliché. There is no such thing. Now I agree the constitution restricts congress from establishing a state religion. Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk, isn't establishing a state religion by refusing to issue licenses with her name on them.

Statement of Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis
LC.org
Late yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court declined to extend the temporary stay of a federal court order involving Rowan County Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis. The federal court previously ordered Kim Davis to issue marriage licenses to the plaintiffs who filed suit against her. Liberty Counsel represents Kim Davis and appealed that order to the Court of Appeals. The lower court order was temporarily stayed until August 31, and, while the appeal is still pending, the stay of the order is no longer in effect. In light of these developments, Kim Davis released the following statement:
I have worked in the Rowan County Clerk’s office for 27 years as a Deputy Clerk and was honored to be elected as the Clerk in November 2014, and took office in January 2015. I love my job and the people of Rowan County. I have never lived any place other than Rowan County. Some people have said I should resign, but I have done my job well. This year we are on track to generate a surplus for the county of 1.5 million dollars.
In addition to my desire to serve the people of Rowan County, I owe my life to Jesus Christ who loves me and gave His life for me. Following the death of my godly mother-in-law over four years ago, I went to church to fulfill her dying wish. There I heard a message of grace and forgiveness and surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. I am not perfect. No one is. But I am forgiven and I love my Lord and must be obedient to Him and to the Word of God.
I never imagined a day like this would come, where I would be asked to violate a central teaching of Scripture and of Jesus Himself regarding marriage. To issue a marriage license which conflicts with God’s definition of marriage, with my name affixed to the certificate, would violate my conscience. It is not a light issue for me. It is a Heaven or Hell decision. For me it is a decision of obedience. I have no animosity toward anyone and harbor no ill will. To me this has never been a gay or lesbian issue. It is about marriage and God’s Word. It is a matter of religious liberty, which is protected under the First Amendment, the Kentucky Constitution, and in the Kentucky Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Our history is filled with accommodations for people’s religious freedom and conscience. I want to continue to perform my duties, but I also am requesting what our Founders envisioned – that conscience and religious freedom would be protected. That is all I am asking. I never sought to be in this position, and I would much rather not have been placed in this position. I have received death threats from people who do not know me. I harbor nothing against them. I was elected by the people to serve as the County Clerk. I intend to continue to serve the people of Rowan County, but I cannot violate my conscience.

Kim Davis, Kentucky Clerk, Held in Contempt and Ordered to Jail September 3, 2015
Nice try.....she was jailed on 3 SEP for contempt in refusing to follow court orders that were directed to her prior to 1 SEP after appeals of SCOTUS opinion were upheld and her request for extension was denied. All of this is meaningless, regardless. Bottom line, she is an elected official with a responsibility to perform the duties of her office without selective approach to those duties. If she cannot do that because of her fake deep religious beliefs, then she needs to quit and find a job where she can do things her way.
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!
"We must stop looking to the government to make America a Christian utopia. Our kingdom is not of this world.
We must abandon all thoughts of fixing others and let Jesus fix us.
If we want sanctity of marriage then stop cheating, stop having affairs, stop looking at porn, stop getting divorces. That is the way for the church to stand up for the biblical definition of marriage, not by someone martyring their self-righteous self".

Romans 1:26-28 - For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Leviticus 20:13 - If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination:
1 Corinthians 7:2 - Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
Mark 10:6-9 - But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
So why doesn't everyone just call JESUS CHRIST.........a racist bigot??
Everyone seems to have no problem calling their fellow man a racist bigot.....

Apparently the rest of the world has no problem offering paid maternity leave. Canada small businesses manage with 28 paid weeks and 25 unpaid for maternity leave with out a major problem... so why is the USA so far behind the rest of the world?
