While embattled Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis remains in prison, sent there by order of U.S. District Court David Bunning and charged with contempt of court, five of the six deputies at her office said they will start processing paperwork for gay marriage licenses today. Life went on in Rowan County, Kentucky.

Conservatives who seek to honor the rule and law and the Constitution’s First Amendment guarantee of religious freedom find themselves on opposite sides of the argument. Attorney David French, writing in National Review supports Davis, stating that “the rule of law requires both lawful enactment and lawful enforcement. Justice Kennedy’s opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges is nothing more and nothing less than the establishment of Justice Kennedy’s world view as a new state religion — a religion with teeth.” Also writing at National Review, Charles C.W. Cooke respectfully disagrees with French, writing that “I am in total agreement with David’s contention that the Obergefell decision was nothing less than an act of constitutional vandalism. But I cannot suppose as he does that it will help matters to meet one tragedy with another. If flagrant law-breaking is the way to fight overreach, count me out of the insurrectionary crew.”

The Republican presidential candidates are on differing sides here as well. Senator Ted Cruz appeared on Kelly File giving his full-throated support for Kim Davis.

Meanwhile, Carly Fiorina was interviewed by Hugh Hewitt, stating that Kim Davis’s refusal to issue marriage licenses was “inappropriate.”

Even here at Victory Girls, we are divided on Kim Davis as well.

But for the Left, there are no respectful disagreements.
