She is elected. So she cannot easily be fired. You can read about that and her at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Davis_(clerk)
Also, apparently, the slow process of trying to "fire" her has begun:
Quote:Earlier Friday, the Rowan County Attorney formally requested that the state government charge Davis with misconduct, the first step in ousting her from her post.

On a side note, wouldn't it be awesome to have a job, were your belief system allowed to to refuse to perform, and you still get to pull down 80 large a year?
Discrimination? That's privilege, motherfucker.

OT and NT both agree when it comes to religion, women need to SHUT THE FUCK UP.
And her serial adultery might have got her stoned for being a slut at various times through Christer history.
What am I missing here ?
Violating an oath of office that almost certainly had the line "So help me God" in it, said with hand on Bible?

Wonder how long I would last if I refused to treat some patients because of certain closely held beliefs?
1. Dragged before an ethics committee
2. Censured
3. Dragged before the medical board after refusing a second time
4. Lose my practice
5. Lose my job
6. Possibly lose my licence

It's pretty easy to lock her sorry ass up for contempt of court.

Holy fuck. The stupid is strong with this one! I wonder if she's ever knowingly issued a license to people on their second (third, fourth, etc...) marriages.

Being elected, she has a greater duty that some slob that managed to get through an interview.

Yes. And she can also be fined for contempt of court. I hope she gets the maximum possible for both. And that the state proceeds against her and fires her.

I've always tried to hold some degree of—for lack of better word—respect (and by that I mean I just don't speak out much about how anti-religious I feel) for religious individuals, since challenging their beliefs seems to shake so many of them to the core, but this puts the nail in the coffin for me. Fuck it, I'm going to be outspoken about being anti-religious. I have yet to see any real benefits of religion, but it sure does a hell of a lot of harm. The world would be far better off if religion disappeared.
