She needs to be fired.
The bitch can't be fired.  It's doubtful if the State legislature has the balls to impeach her.  This is going to be so funny when the muslims insist that Islam forces them to act like assholes.  The rednecks will be whining like babies then.  This is going to bite the American Taliban in the nuts when the chickens come home to roost.

The State Legislature doesn't necessarily have to impeach her; the ACLU has filed a motion of contempt against her.

Quote:The American Civil Liberties Union and the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky today filed two motions with a Kentucky district court to hold Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis accountable for her continuing refusal to issue marriage licenses to couples in the case Miller v. Davis.

The motions ask the court to hold Davis in contempt of court for failing to comply with its previous ruling and to clarify that Davis must issue marriage licenses to everybody, not just the four named couples in the case. The court set a contempt hearing for this Thursday, at which Davis will be required to answer to the judge for her violation of the order and could face steep fines.

The following comment may be attributed to Steven R. Shapiro, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union:

“It is unfortunate that we’ve been compelled to take further action today to ensure that the people of Rowan County can obtain the marriage licenses they’re entitled to receive from their County Clerk’s office.  The law is clear and the courts have spoken.  The duty of public officials is to enforce the law, not place themselves above it.”


Can an elected official guilty of breaking the law they are meant to follow and uphold be elected for anything?

Well... on second thought, it is Kentucky...
