"We'll be watching Kim Davis very closely when she returns to work this week. The 'religious liberty' argument made by her and other civically-ignorant people, like her lawyer, is completely bogus. The First Amendment does not protect individuals who place their religious beliefs above the law and sworn responsibilities as government agents," stated ACLU Spokesman Christian Smash.

"We have nearly 100 full-time lawyers, and every one of them can easily best Davis' lawyer Mathew Staver. Mr. Staver routinely takes on high-profile cases with no legal merit so he can fleece sympathetic far-right Christians and continue to fund his equally extreme Liberty Counsel law firm," said Smash.
Rowan County, Kentucky Deputy Clerk Brian Mason seemed to be the most likely to be fired by Davis after announcing last week he would issue marriage licenses to eligible same-sex and opposite-sex couples even if Davis violated the law - again - and ordered him not to do so.
