2. I'm baffled.

I just don't understand why the Vatican chose to spend time with her. There are so many unsung heroes here, toiling away for the greater good and the underdogs, those who volunteer their time and energy for animals, for those without a voice... then there's Kim Davis. Demanding $80K per year of taxpayers' money for a job she refuses to perform. Her position doesn't even make sense, and she has no leg to stand on, since the gay marriage license she refuses to issue is just a legal document. Not a religious one.

Why her? Am I naive to think it could be as simplistic as big-money Conservatives and their donations to the church could orchestrate this as part of their pandering to their nutbag base?
