Kim Davis is entering her fourth day of confinement at the Carter County Detention Center in Kentucky, but on Saturday supporters rallied to her defense just outside her cell in a “Free Kim Davis” rally. Meanwhile, her attorney Michael Staver of the the law firm Liberty Counsel reported that she was ‘sleeping soundly and in good conscience.’

Gay activists are beginning to become alarmed.
“This is what the other side wants. This is a biblical story, to go to jail for your faith. We don’t want to make her a martyr to the people who are like her, who want to paint themselves as victims,” said Kenneth Upton, senior legal counsel for Lambda Legal, a law firm specializing in LGBT rights. The American Civil Liberties Union, representing the couples she turned away, had initially asked that Davis be fined rather than imprisoned to avoid a “false persecution story,” according to an ACLU attorney.
But jailed she was, and she still remains imprisoned.
Eugene Volokh, a law professor who teaches free speech, religious freedom law, and church-state relations law at UCLA School of Law, just might be the most knowledgeable person to address the Kim Davis case — and Volokh writes that Davis has a strong claim for exemption from issuing marriage licenses which bear her name, using Kentucky’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
