I wouldcomment by I haven't the time now. i just wanted to put it out there.

Sounds to me like she's a petty small minded person with a tiny bit of power that's gone to her head.

It won't last.

... and it will backfire on her. It draws attention to a matter where public opinion isn't as much on her side as it once was.

If anything, I can see this creating empathy for gay couples who want to get married. I also would be suprised if she ever gets re-elected.

Yeah, we've been following this story for a while too, I don't think she could get re-elected. She's really being to made out to be a villain.

It's really sad that she would go to such lengths for her own misguided personal convictions. Kern county has a high poverty rate and a lot of these people aren't really able to afford to have a wedding any other way.

I kinda wonder if we will be viewed as the villians. After all now they can't get married becasue of us.

Totally faulty reasoning. They can't get married because of HER. She made the decision, no one forced her to.

It's a funny form of protest!

Reasoning maybe faulty, but it's exactly the type of reasoning her supporters and those who are anti-gay marriage will use to further their point of view. :-(

She only wanted to perform the service for the couples of her choosing. Guess she forgets that she is the person who serves all the people. Are all county clerks elected in CA or in that county?

Well you said it yourself, its reasoning the supporters use. Its the reasoning of the people whose mind you will never change anyway. Not the reasoning of reasonable adults.

To the best of my knowledge all county clerks are elected.

That's exactly what I was thinking.
