    But lawyers for the couples repeatedly pressed the county clerk to admit that her policy is the result of a personal choice.

    Bunning agreed and said fines for Kim Davis, who makes $80,000 a year, would not be enough to ensure that she would follow his orders. He also raised concerns that supporters, whom she said are raising money for her, would pay any fine he levied, hampering its force.

    "I don't do this lightly," he said. "It's necessary in this case."

    Chris Hartman, head of the Fairness Campaign advocacy group, said he thought the judge would levy fines but hoped that jailing Kim Davis would act as a strong deterrent for others who might refuse to follow the law....

    Maybe that's why she has been married 4 times, she's kinda stubborn.

    It will take some obstinacy to face up to these liberals. If you are a softy you will compromise and let the devils crowd have their way. The church needs some BACKBONE!
