NEWS ITEM: ASHLAND, Ky. (AP) — A defiant county clerk, Kim Davis, was sent to jail for contempt Thursday after insisting that her "conscience will not allow" her to follow a federal judge's orders to issue marriage licenses to gay couples.
EDITORIAL: This reminds me of the early 70s, when Bill Walton informed UCLA basketball Coach John Wooden that he had no right to tell him to get a haircut and thus Walton was refusing to get one. Wooden replied – essentially – “Well, if it’s that important to you, Bill, I respect your decision. We’re going to miss you.” Walton quickly saw the light. (Point being, Davis should resign.)
