As Christians rise up against the jailing of Kim Davis, citing it as an example of persecution against someone engaging in the constitutionally protected free exercise of religion, a common retort from the secular left has been as follows: "She's not in jail for exercising her religion. She's in jail for not doing her job." If that's the case, she needs to be freed immediately. There is no statute in this country that makes it a criminal offense not to do your job, or to do your job poorly. If there was, Barack Obama would belong in jail - and I know some of you think he does anyway, but actually the only provision in the Constitution that could deal with his abuses of power would be impeachment and removal from office upon conviction. That's obviously plenty serious, but it's not a criminal offense requiring prison.
