they may have it ass-backwards, i'm speaking to the overall issue, the split opinion of the SC to dictate personal choices. the 4 SC justices who dissented with the majority were very articulate in their dissents re: the trampling of the Constitution on the decision for the government to approve gay marriage.
that's the bigger and real issue here. it's not about kim davis's excuse for being in contempt of court. she could have said she didn't feel like certifying marriages and she would still be in contempt.
but overall, she's fighting for the Constitution. not unlike max hardcore fought for it. i may not like his content, etc, nevertheless.
