The legal battle over Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis isn’t over yet. Now it’s time to pay the lawyers.
Attorneys for the couples who sued Davis last year to get marriage licenses have asked U.S. District Judge David Bunning for an order letting them recoup $233,058 in legal fees and costs. Their lawsuit went to the U.S. Supreme Court and back, with Davis losing at every step and even going to jail for five days on contempt charges, before the Kentucky legislature made the point moot in April by changing the state’s marriage licenses to remove county clerks’ names.
That was the outcome Davis wanted. She objected on religious grounds to the legalization of same-sex marriage by the Supreme Court, and she didn’t want her name on licenses going to same-sex couples.
As great as this is to hear, I think we all know that Davis will not have to pay a cent.
Even IF she is forced to pay I have little doubt that right now some homophobic wingnuts are starting a Go Fund Me account to pay the whole thing off.
After all, she is what passes for a conservative hero these days.
The lawyers want their money? God help help her!
ReplyDeleteNot only will there be a GoFundMe account, but it will quickly run up to four times the amount needed, giving to cultural warrior a really nice payday for her advocacy of of ignorance and hate.
ReplyDeleteShe still won't pay. She'll keep every penny of that GoFundMe account that someone else will have set up for her. She'll claim she'll give it to charity or some such shit but she'll keep it. Cletus needs a new pair of overalls.
DeleteThe attorneys should put a lien against her home for the amount that is owed. She'd have to pay it eventually - when her house sold - or if she died - the estate would have to pay all the debt against the house first before she would get anything - or her estate!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure attorneys know what their options are - they'll get her eventually and they'll more than likely add penalty and interest to the date the debt is finally paid!
She doesn't appear very sharp to me - just an overt religious freak trying to make a name for herself!
The free evangelical lawyers, Liberty U. or some such right wing whackos will step up like they did before. She won't pay anything.
DeleteFunny thing about Ms Davis, that SHE HERSELF has had FOUR HUSBANDS, but wants to prevent "some people" from even having one.
ReplyDeleteThe hypocrisy and blind batshit ignorance of the evangelicals never ceases to amaze me in all of its manifestations.

Three husbands. She remarried #2 and he became #4. Who knows who the father of her children is. Oh, she also committed adultery and got pregnant out of wedlock. Yeah, a real Christian Family Values role model.
DeleteSomeone should start a GoFundMe page to repay the Russians for Trumps self funding of his campaign... Mocking Him
ReplyDeletedeplorable boobs gone wild.
ReplyDeleteYes, but she will face her judgment on Judgment Day - when Jesus Christ Himself explains to her "I told you: however you treat the least among you is how you have treated Me."
ReplyDeleteFor crying out loud. You seriously don't believe what you wrote? There is no GD thing as "judgement day" You fucking die end of story. Then you either get cremated or put in an overpriced casket and into the ground. No magical journey or meeting other dead family members. You're fucking DEAD.
Delete6:13 - and you know there is nothing on the other side how exactly?
DeleteThe very thing you criticize others for you do yourself. The Universe is mostly Dark Matter; stuff humans can't understand yet. How about saying we don't know and avoid attacking the beliefs of others?
I grew up believing and it is reassuring to think it might be true. That those who brag of being saved in order to hurt other people are in for the big surprise they use to threaten non believers.
DeleteConnie is right, 6:13. You have every right to feel the way you do, but you do NOT have the right to attack others' feelings and beliefs. To take it even further, if you DO attack others and yet complain about the proselytizing and others attacking you, then there is a word for you: hypocrite.
DeleteConnie and Leleand.. go vote for Trump then. There is a fantasy you can follow.
Delete10:32 I asked for proof from 6:13 and you decide the best comment is an attack of two adults acknowledging another's First Amendment Rights. Honestly, your pant size must be 'yuge' to fit your thighs.
DeleteAs for your pejorative to vote for Herr Drumpf, too late. I prefer my fantasies consensual thankyouverymuch.
I can't wait to see if her warrior sisters and brothers step forward to help her out. Put your money were your mouth is I always say.
ReplyDeleteMy Old Racist Kentucky Home. A bastion of racism.
ReplyDeleteMaybe there should be a GoFundMe account for at least three of the four men who voluntarily married this dame. They need psychological counseling, STAT.
ReplyDeleteOnly three. She married #2 twice.

If I remember correctly, when this was happening someone did start a GoFundMe page for her but GoFundMe shut it down.
ReplyDeleteAs for not paying, there are other ways once a judgement is in place. Such as, placing liens on everything her name is on, cars, homes, ....and tada....any retirement plans that exist under her name.
It would be fantastic to see her homeless and walking the streets begging for her dinner. My wishful Karma.
ReplyDeleteSurely her pals Huckabee and Cruz are racing again to her side in support, and bringing their checkbooks. They're not busy these days.
ReplyDeleteKentucky is not the place to live if you are a Marine and you want to keep your manhood status as the Marines prefer.
ReplyDeleteTwo women or two men getting married is not the Marine image to have if you want to be a popular public figure in your state.
Smart move to move far away. If you can arrange it, do some kind of marriage publicity. Better yet manage to be able to say 'I am a father'.
She's refusing to pay.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure if money is awarded it won't even be paid by the state. It will probably be covered by some right wing PAC or a big pockets alt-right fascist. Koch brothers maybe.
I can't, for the life of me, figure out what three ex husbands saw in this pathetic excuse of a human being.
ReplyDeleteShe remarried ex-husband number two. One or the other of them found Jeebus. I guess faith makes you blind or stupid or something.
