There is already one decision against her. The hearing today will most likely identify her as a martyr. I'll be surprised if she doesn't get jail time.

Ms. Davis has been in this position of clerk about one year after her mother served in that capacity for 37 years. (click here) The background noise is probably about the preaching of a particular church and holy man. This law breaking clerk is mostly a religious martyr.
“Our Constitution (click here) . . . intending to establish three departments, co-ordinate and
independent that they might check and balance one another, it has
given—according to this opinion to one of them alone the right to prescribe
rules for the government of others; and to that one, too, which is unelected
by and independent of the nation. . . . The Constitution, on this
hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they
may twist and shape into any form they please.” (Letter to Judge Spencer
Roane, Sept. 6, 1819)
The political right wing hangs onto opinions written in the early years of the democracy as if law. They continual state the judiciary is out of control as if a tyrant panel. The right wing will hold onto personal opinions of Jefferson and Lincoln when it serves their purpose, but, they are also the first to demand legislative measures or governor actions be appealed to the courts. The entire right wing paradigm is inconsistent in their behavior regarding USA law and judicial decisions.
I'd prefer the judge today issue the marriage licenses and not delay marriages any further when this is obviously a matter of martyrdom and stonewalling any potential for licenses to be issued. This could go on forever and that is what Davis and her supports are hoping. In cases of martyrdom the judges should take the necessary steps to issue the marriage license as well as hand down jail time to the clerks.
In a judge issuing marriage licenses, which is within their preview, Davis and her supporters will call it a victory because their names are not attached to the license. SO WHAT. This is about marriage and not martyrdom. The right wing can carry on in their own universe all they want.
Friendliness can't be litigated.
I have a problem with the fact marriages have been delayed. People go through a great deal of detail when getting married and the day they are married becomes their mark in time to celebrate. It is called an anniversary.
My parents were married on July 3rd, 1954 because July 4th was a federal holiday and there was no one willing to officiate on that day. But, that is the level of detail couples devote themselves in deciding a day and year to be married. Ms. Davis is ruining the joy involved in 'the marriage.' That is egregious. The people being married are not martyrs, they are a couple waiting for their special status to each other.
