GOP chooses poorly in deciding which rights to defend

The GOP is defending Kim Davis, the county clerk in Kentucky who spent five days in jail because she refused to follow the Constitution concerning giving gay couples a marriage license. She says it violated God’s law. Maybe she should also refuse to issue licenses to divorced people seeking to get remarried. After all, divorce is also against God’s law. Wait a minute. I forgot she has been divorced three times and is in her fourth marriage.

If the GOP wants to defend individuals, it should concentrate on equal rights for women or doing something for the poor, needy and elderly, for starters.
