Yet another one of those moral equivalency hypotheticals Progs fatuously imagine to be devastating, but cannot withstand even slight thought. So I'll spell out some "slight"thought:
Kroger has this process called "firing". Kroger could fire this clerk. Now, if the clerk happens to be a Muslim, she could sue and possibly win (and DU folk would cheer her "victory"), but that's another story. But Kroger has the process to fire her and could do so.
Similarly, KY must have a process by which Kim Davis could be "fired" - removal from office by the governor, an administrative hearing by the county board of supervisors, impeachment, whatever. But the homosexual activists chose not to follow proper process to get her "fired". And they wanted their "marriages" NOW. They wanted to crush Kim Davis, to imprison her.
I'm ambivalent about what Kim Davis did. Once the USSC created a "right" to homosexual marriage that the writers of the Constitution and 14th amendment would have found abominable (is my view of this "right" clear?) Kim Davis faced three choices, none of them good:
* Violate the faith that, some four years ago, saved her (in the ordinary sense of the word, as well as the Christian sense) from a self-destructive lifestyle;
* Refuse to do marriage certificates, which she did, with the results we've seen;
* Step down as County Clerk, which would have impacted the operation of her county in more ways than "just" marriage certificates not being issued.
Needless to say, Libs & Progs don't care about the operation of her county, and don't give a @#$% about her faith or how it has turned her life around.
Nor can Libs & Progs acknowledge that when good people are driven out of a profession or government, those who step in to fill the vacuum will be much less good.
