Why doesn't Kim Davis just resign?

11. Because this was planned and she has some ulterior motive.

I was over on the Americans United for Separation of Church and State website this morning.

Here's part of their post updating the Kim Davis story:

But Davis’ actions are probably moves in a long game.

There’s evidence she planned her refusal before she even took office. According to BuzzFeed News, Rowan County Attorney Walter Blevins Jr., told the court earlier this summer that Davis informed him of her objection to marriage equality shortly after her election.

“Kim and I have conversations,” he said. “And she did tell me early on, before the [Obergefell] decision was made, that if it was to allow same-sex marriage that she could not do that in her moral judgment. She just could not do it.”

There’s speculation, too, that the Liberty Counsel is taking advantage of Davis. The firm does have a well-documented history of anti-gay legal activism, and Staver said in March that if the high court legalized marriage equality he “personally will advocate disobedience to it.”

It looks like he finally found his case.

And in a side bar to their update:

Whatever the outcome of her case, Davis only has herself to blame for her dilemma. She clearly understood that she’d likely have to confront marriage equality as county clerk, and yet ran for the office anyway.
