Liberty Counsel are a bunch of fundamentalist assholes that are just using this woman as a tool to further their cause/fundraising. This isn't the first time they've given their clients absolutely terrible advice.

I mean as Huckabee is saying it, because there isn't a law saying that I can adopt a cat from a shelter, I can't adopt a cat from a shelter. I think that is 100% backwards.

 

Playing devils advocate, that's not really the same. The clerk has delegated duties by law to fulfill in her role as clerk of the county. It's the lack of instruction, basically, from the law that he's pointing towards. You as a person aren't filling a position created by law to adopt cats with various instructions on what you're supposed to do in that position.

There's not lack of instruction. The parts of the law that restrict marriage to opposite sex couples have been made invalid. The rest of the Kentucky marriage law stands, so Davis must issue marriage licenses to whoever meets the states's qualifications.

 

When Loving v. Virginia came down, would it have been any less dumb to say "but the legislature didn't pass a law giving me authority to recognize mixed-race marriages!"?

Religion has had its stranglehold on the human race far to long.

 

It should be terminated with extreme prejudice for the sake of mankind.

And as if cue, here comes Westboro Baptist Church and not to Kim's rescue.

As Cee Lo Green said " ain't that some s***!"

 

I cannot stop laughing at the various irony. This just became absolutely hilarious! :lol:

 

I cannot stop laughing.

Released from jail under the condition that she doesnt interfere with issuing marriage licenses to legally qualifying couples.

 

 

Im curious if she is still required to put her signature on it

They are not known for their rational legal expertise.

Her lawyers are political activists who don't actually give a damn about her and should probably be disbarred.

She's back to work today. Watch 100's of gay couple show up to get licenses.

I wonder if those Oathkeepers are really gonna do something when Bunning sends out the deputies

Apparently, she's saying that all licenses from her office will not be considered legal now?

She's saying that to clear her conscience, but I can't imagine somebody will actually file a suit challenging the legality of the issued licenses.

Of course someone will do that.

 

It's a valid question - if the office signs the licenses but without Davis' name on them, are they still valid? Sucks that we have to even figure this out, but that appears to be where we are.

From a technical standpoint, they probably are illegal. It will be interesting to see because of the Supreme Court ruling, if they are upheld or not.

I wonder who would have standing to file that suit.

Very interesting question. That gets to the core of the issue of who exactly is negatively impacted by the issuing of licenses.

  • Author

Davis's lawyers have filed suit in the sixth circuit over a variety of issues. The one that stands out to me is that they're attempting to limit Judge Bunning's ruling to only the couples that specifically sued, not all couples.

She's also instructing her deputies to further alter the forms:

 

Now that her name has been removed, however, it turns out that the solution Davis earlier proposed does not suffice from her perspective. In her statement this morning, Davis said that she has ordered that the licenses issued by the Deputies in Rowan County may not include her name or title or "authority" [it's not clear what that means, since the form doesn't mention her "authority" in the first place], and that such licenses will bear the notation "Issued pursuant to a federal court order."

Does Kim Davis have an objective here? What the f*** does she actually want? She is a giant f***ing troll.
