Before you make fun of Kim Davis for no reason, note that her issue was that she felt that the state should provide her a religious exemption and allow her office to issue marriage licenses without her name on them. She did not have a problem with other people in her office issuing the licenses as long as her name was not on the paper. She actually opposed a bill proposed by KY Republicans that would have created a separate marriage license form for same-sex couples because she said she did not believe in "separate but equal marriage" and said that all couples should use one, inclusive form. She's not a hateful person - don't turn her into a punching bag.

Are we already rewriting this?  When U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning held Davis in contempt of court, he said he would save her from jail if she simply allowed her deputies to issue the marriage licenses. She refused.

She was only released when she agreed to let her deputies do their job.
