Why not sack the clerk and appoint a replacement after throwing her in jail?

How can she be the only one with the authority to sign?

If you can no longer do the job because of your religious beliefs, surely the right course of action is to quit your job?

This is why Church and State should be separated. They might be your beliefs but they don't put you above the law. Hope she stays in Jail till she resigns or signs the licenses.

That gets my vote.

Americans are a bit fanatical when it comes to religion though.

We're in the States at the moment so we've seen quite a lot of coverage at the moment of this story. But it wasn't until I read the BBC article that I realised that she couldn't be sacked because she was elected.

It might have seemed like a good idea but surely they must have realised at some point that making almost every public position elected is a terrible idea(?)

The circus surrounding this silly mare rolls on. I shudder to think how much time and money has been wasted. It's religion gone mad.

When you're flabbergasted is it your flabber that gets gasted or your gast that gets flabbered?

Neither. It's not certain, but it's probably an amalgamation of two adjectives in the 18th Century: flabby (wobbly and shaking) and aghast (shocked).

As an aside, I couldn't help but laugh at this fella (right, presumably the husband) not conforming to the redneck stereotype at all.

Footage of them arriving at court showed the husband with a gun sticking out of his trousers, they have an "interesting" idea of what makes a good Christian.

I wouldn't have recognised Mr Drysdale without the moustache, but Miss Hathaway, Granny and Jethro haven't changed a bit.

Did I see that Survivor have filed a $1m+ law suite for them using Eye Of The Tiger for her to walk out of prison too? Smiley
