Her Fifteen Minutes Is About Up

In spite of all the hoopla (or maybe because of it), and despite what the usual suspects are spreading through the usual channels, Kim Davis' cause isn't all that popular. From Rasmussen, which leans somewhat right:

But just 26% of Likely U.S. Voters think an elected official should be able to a ignore a federal court ruling that he or she disagrees with for religious reasons. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 66% think the official should carry out the law as the federal court has interpreted it.

There always seems to be about a quarter of the U.S. population that thinks our system of laws is only a suggestion, and that they know better -- or at least, their preacher does.

At any rate, it seems that most of the country sees Kim Davis for what she is: a self-centered, arrogant bigot using her religion as a smokescreen.
