A Kentucky county clerk has defied the Supreme Court and multiple other court orders to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
On Tuesday, a federal judge ordered Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis and her staff to appear Thursday morning for a contempt hearing to explain why they have continued to defy the law of the land.
It didn't take long for Twitter to react, some with hilarious take-downs and others with over-the-top apocalyptic talk.
There are not enough words to describe the idiocy, lunacy, and double standards of #KimDavis. #DoYourJob #ArrestKimDavis— Matthew Giberti (@Matthew Giberti) 1441120504.0

Unsurprisingly, there was some conservative support for Davis with apocalyptic-sounding over-the-top rhetoric.
I support Kim Davis like I would support a clerk who wouldn't sign a form allowing a box car into Auschwitz, "law" or not.— Bryan Fischer (@Bryan Fischer) 1441118704.0
