It's our belief Kim Davis needs a new job that is more suited to her personal convictions.
David V. Moore and David Ermold have been together for 17 years and have lived in Rowan County, Kentucky, for the last 10 of those years together. With the Supreme Court ruling in hand (they literally brought a copy of it with them, along with a letter from Governor Beshear directing clerks to issue licenses), they walked into the County Clerk's office to get their marriage license. And that's when they ran into trouble as staffers in the clerk's office first ignored them entirely, then rudely told them to go to another county while onlookers began mocking them.
Rowan County Clerk Kimberly Davis is at the center of a lawsuit filed by the ACLU for refusing to issue the marriage licenses.
"It's a deep-rooted conviction; my conscience won't allow me to do that," Davis told The Associated Press. "It goes against everything I hold dear, everything sacred in my life."
Davis is an elected employee who swore an oath of office to uphold the laws of Kentucky, which now provides for same-sex marriages. It is her duty to issue these licenses and if she is not up to the task, it is probably time for her to move along to a job more suited to her beliefs.
For what it's worth, Kimberly Davis is a Democrat and won her primary in 2014 by a mere 24 votes. Her mother, Jean Bailey, preceded Kimberly in the very same elected position for more than 30 years before retiring.
A friend of the couple came along to film the interaction. Someone in the clerk's office even called the police to intimidate the couple as they patiently waited their turn to speak with the clerk, who demanded they stop filming, even though it was their legal right to do so. WATCH:
