The judge COULDN'T "go around her". She was elected and this was his ONLY recourse!
The Oath Keepers say she should've been offered a Trial by Jury.
I don't see that - - as she clearly broke the law by refusing a direct order to abide by the Supreme Court decision.
Hence the contempt ruling. Their is no trial. Its really basic law.
Even a murderer who kill sin public in front of thousands of witnesses gets a trial even if they admit their guilt. It s a right.
Not the same. Read the law. This is like a probation violation. She can have a hearing thats it. Again what would a trial do? The judge told her their would be a punishment if she continued to break the law.
Like i said earlier a trial would had resulted in her walking and no repurcussions in kentucky. ANd How i si tliek a probation violation? SHe comitted no crime. Judges are a narcissitic pricks who get their jollies by harming others.
She violated a court order. You are clueless of how the judicial system works. She is in violation of the supreme court order. She was warned in court by a judge that actually shares her viewpoint but knows how the law works. A jury can not aquit a guilty person do you umderstand this? She is guilty and admits it. The contempt is defying the court order given to her....just like probation.
A court order issued by a MAN hiding behind a ROBE. It was a illegal order. CONTEMPT was issued on a local level not from the Supreme court. A jury can aquit a guilty person IF they think th eGuilt is un warranted or unfair. its called NUllification. Also if th ejudge shared her viewpoint why did he issue a contepmt charge? Its his discretion.

oh this is starting to sound like a states rights issue.
How so is a supreme court ruling a states rights issue? Is there a federal tax code for marriage?
for example: a jury of her peers would agree with her above the federal laws enforced by the supreme court, which goes back to the old argument regarding the federal government being given authority to interfer with jury outcomes based on federal laws, all of which were put in place initially (at least the foundations) over the slavery issue.
Exactly and this is a similar case. All constitutional. You have to take down the 14th to have an argument first. Which will never happen.

So in other wors the 14th strips away th epeoples right to make decisions when they consider their government in th ewrong huh? Also enabling th eability to retry someone found not guilty till they are found guilty. great. I live in russia apparently.

ahhh ok. Still contepmt is way over used these days. Still its weird to release someone with no fine or charges. They are just going to go around her and have her subordinates do them,which they should had done in th efirst place instead of making such a ruckus.

Tribals ar eusually not normally under any laws so your example is not applicable.
Why can the government reject a duly given verdict by a jury? It seems liek th elaw is for US and not for them right?
The government became a dictatorship with th eillusion of voting then.

according to jesus, marriage happens in the sight of god, the moment you have sex with someone, or even think about someone in a sexual way. that is why he refers to it as committing adultery if you think about someone sexually that you aren't planning on being "married" to. in effect, the state is just providing financial documentation and they call it a marriage license. the actual act of marriage (in the sight of god) has likely already occurred when they fell in love (no state documents required).
legal does not equal divine.
much ado about nothing.

and you agree as a citizen of the usa, to retain your god given rights as an individual, which is not applicable universally. it's local to the individual. she has a divine natural right to disobey the law, according to the constitution, but that doesn't mean god (or the courts) would agree with her choice, and that is afterall, what she appears to be upset about. it's a non-issue.

oh i know that. but she's interpreting it as a christian. and as a christian, she must be made aware that the state does not actually make or break the divine nature of marriage. the state can't make a marriage divine. it never will and in the usa, it doesn't have to (nor does it appear to want to deal with whether its divine or not).
Marriage License Required -- Who May Issue: No marriage shall be solemnized without a license therefor. The license shall be issued by the clerk of the county in which the female resides at the time, unless the female is eighteen (18) years of age or over or a widow, and the license is issued on her application in person or by writing signed by her, in which case it may be issued by any county clerk.
