LIVESPIVE, BOTH QUESTIONS ARE NOT RELEVANT IN THIS CASE. AS YOU SAID ITS THE LAW, NOT A GREY AREA.
Very good analogy. I really don't have the answer to this situation. Our elected leaders should be adhering to the law of the land, and applying them them evenly and fairly. We all know that our elected officials very often do what they want, regardless of the actual laws in effect.Its just like our President only enforcing the laws he likes, and ignoring the laws he feels are unjust or laws he just plainly does not like. Illegal aliens for example, he has said himself that he will not enforce those laws.
The example has been set by our leader, so why should she be any different?
And wisely, Mr. WAMO decided it was in his best interests not to question the officer's intent for not writing him up.VERY WELL SAID ROB!
LIVESPIVE. AFTER CHECKING MY INS AND RUNNING MY DL, THE ONLY REPLY I GOT WAS, "ITS YOUR LUCKY DAY MR MATLOCK, SLOW IT DOWN". WHAT WAS HIS INTENT?

Not in Illinois, the only thing you will get is an IOU.Did you play the Lotto that day?
While I don't agree with the Judge, (locking her up), I do understand his point of view. She does have a job to do, but she shouldn't be forced to do something against her religious convictions, one of her deputies should be allowed to authorize the licenses or if none of them wish to, she should hire one who has no problem doing so.A federal judge has ordered a Kentucky clerk to jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Kim Davis, a clerk in Rowan County, was found in contempt of court on Thursday morning by Judge David Bunning. Davis has said granting marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples would "violate God's definition of marriage" and infringe on her personal beliefs as an Apostolic Christian.
Bunning said Davis would be released only when she agreed to follow his order and issue marriage licenses.
Davis was visibly emotional from the stand during the two-hour hearing. She testified that she became a Christian in January 2011 on the day her mother-in-law died.
"God's moral law conflicts with my job duties," Davis told the judge. "You can't be separated from something that's in your heart and in your soul."
But Bunning was unconvinced. "I myself have genuinely held religious beliefs," the judge later said, but "I took an oath."
Davis thanked the judge as she was being led out of the courtroom and turned over to U.S. Marshals.
So says the spokesman for the man who openly flaunts which laws he'll ignore and not enforce.White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters Thursday afternoon that no public official is above the law.
"Certainly not the president of the United States, but neither is the Rowan County clerk," Earnest said. "That's a principle that is enshrined in our Constitution and in our democracy and it's one that obviously the courts are seeking to uphold."
No need to scream, obv.DOES THAT MEAN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SWEAR ON A BIBLE TO TELL THE TRUTH IN HIS COURT, BECAUSE THE LAW SAYS YOU HAVE TO?
Basic civics.....I GUESS I DONT SPEND AS MUCH TIME IN COURT AS YOU DO.

I do get a kick out of this little tidbit...
