ETA: At this point, Davis is just upholding a fine Democrat legacy of denying civil rights to people. She is standing in the clerk house door, refusing admittance just like George Wallace did in Alabama to keep blacks out of his school. Why hasn't Obama just sent the Kentucky National Guard in to right this most heinous wrong? That's all it would take, and then this ugly chapter would be over.
Or the gay couples to just go to another county and get the license while Davis sends her appeals through the courts. I know, I know, it's not as much fun or as big of a spectacle.
I don't find the spectacle much fun personally, and I certainly wouldn't deny Davis or anyone else (Democrat or Republican) their right to free speech, protest, or legal appeals.
Davis can cry , "no, no, God, no! -- I won't sign!!" all she wants. But, if she really has the conviction and desire to affect change (backwards), it's her responsibility. It's not the responsibility of the law-abiding gay citizens to work around Her. It's up to Davis to make the sacrifices required to get it done, just like it was up to the gay rights activists to take action, which they did for for decades, to affect change in the opposite direction.
