Well, Ms. Davis is simply omnipotent as if God herself. She is in jail. A person in jail loses their constitutional rights and that is why she is jail. Removing an elected official requires a reason to stop their authority from acting against the law. Ms. Davis was breaking the law. She is in jail to remove her authority and the people can be served by the law.

MOREHEAD, Ky. – An attorney (click here) for jailed Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis said Friday that the marriage licenses issued by her deputies to several same-sex couples are invalid.
“They are not worth the paper they’re written on,” Mat Staver said outside the Carter County Detention Center, where Davis is being held on a contempt charge.
Speaking at an afternoon news conference in Grayson, about 35 miles from the Rowan County Courthouse, Staver said: “Our position and the position of the clerk of Rowan County is that those licenses are void.”
The licenses issued to same-sex couples Friday aren’t valid, Staver argued, because they were issued under the county clerk’s authority — but Davis hasn’t granted that authority.
The marriage forms issued Friday did not bear Davis’s name because of her refusal to endorse them. Instead, the clerk’s office included a space for a deputy clerk to sign his or her name.
U.S. District Judge David L. Bunning sent Davis to jail and ordered the deputy clerks to issue licenses in her absence. A representative for Bunning could not be reached for comment Friday....
An appeal is not going to recind any marriage license issued after Judge Bunning ordered it. Who does she think she is?
