that if Scalia had shown up in Bermuda shorts and flipflops, we wouldn't be making fun of an inappropriately-dressed man instead? And what does Davis' now-abandoned political affiliation have to do with it?

People mock Kim Davis because she's a bigot and a hypocrite and a horrible person, and because she prepared for an internationally prestigious event like the last day at the outdoor rummage sale. There are many deserving people who weren't invited (or able) to attend, and you can bet that they'd have treated the event with appropriate seriousness.

Davis makes almost 2.5X the median income for her fine county, and you can bet that she hasn't paid a penny on fines or legal fees. She (or her handlers) made a conscious choice to put her in clothes inappropriate to the venue. We would equally mock a man who'd done the same, even if (gasp!) he were a Democrat.
