Clips from 2005 talk radio appearances show that EPA administrator Scott Pruitt does not believe in Evolution and wants to amend the Constitution to ban abortion and ban marriage equality.

“There aren’t sufficient scientific facts to establish the theory of evolution, and it deals with the origins of man, which is more from a philosophical standpoint than a scientific standpoint,” Pruitt said on an Oklahoma radio program in 2005. https://t.co/20oZv5lOG8 pic.twitter.com/i8QpcYvfkQ

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt dismissed evolution as an unproven theory, lamented that “minority religions” were pushing Christianity out of “the public square” and advocated amending the Constitution to ban abortion, prohibit same-sex marriage and protect the Pledge of Allegiance and the Ten Commandments, according to a newly unearthed series of Oklahoma talk radio shows from 2005. 

Pruitt, who at the time was a state senator, also described the Second Amendment as divinely granted and condemned federal judges as a “judicial monarchy” that is “the most grievous threat that we have today." And he did not object when the program’s host described Islam as “not so much a religion as it is a terrorist organization in many instances.”

The views he states, in discussions peppered with references to inalienable rights and the faith of the nation's founders, are in line with those of millions of other conservative, devout Christians. But they also show stances that at times are at odds with the broader American mainstream, and in some cases with accepted scientific findings — an issue that has more recently come up with his skepticism about the science behind climate change. 

“There aren’t sufficient scientific facts to establish the theory of evolution (Actually there are.), and it deals with the origins of man, which is more from a philosophical standpoint than a scientific standpoint,” he said in one part of the series (That is actually untrue as well.), in which Pruitt and the program's hosts discussed issues related to the Constitution. 

Of course Republicans were quick to defend Pruitt and his primitive superstitious views.

Republicans in Congress defended Pruitt, saying his religious beliefs should factor into how he does his job. 

"All of us are people of faith and obviously influenced by our faith and the role it played in our life … and continue[s] to play in our life on a daily basis," said Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, which oversees EPA. "It’s a part of who we are."

Actually since protecting the environment is an entirely science based policy, a person's religious beliefs serve only to interfere in their ability to understand the data they see in order to help direct their decision making.

ANY potential cabinet member who espouses such arcane and outdated opinions should NEVER be put in charge of any agency which requires at least some understanding and respect for science.

Period.

Gay man who was refused a marriage license by Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis will run against her in 2018.

Courtesy of Pink News:  

Kentucky County Clerk Kim Davis is set to re-run for election in 2018, despite her extreme opposition to LGBT rights and being put behind bars for contempt of court. 

Davis refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples when she operated as a county clerk in 2015, but says she intends to retain her seat as Rowan County Clerk in next year’s elections. 

The task might have just got much tougher, however, after one of the men she denied a license to, David Ermold, considers standing against her in the race.

After she was sent to jail for six days for refusing a federal order to issue same-sex marriage certificates, Davis became a staunch anti-gay marriage campaigner. 

The Apostolic Christian has said that she refused to issue the licenses because same-sex marriage goes against her beliefs. 

Now Ermold wants to stop her. 

No Democrat has yet put their name forward to oppose the Republican right-winger. 

“If Kim Davis was reelected in that position without an appropriate fight, I’d probably regret it for the rest of my life,” Ermold, an English professor, told WKU Public Radio.

I love everything about this, and after Virginia elected a transgender woman during Tuesday's election, I think that the time is right for this kind of a challenge.

And would it not be perfect for Kim Davis to lose her reelection bid to the very people who she discriminated against?

Now THAT would be schadenfreude.

Judge demands that Kentucky pay the legal fees for the couples who were denied marriage licenses by county clerk Kim Davis.

Courtesy of Yahoo News:  

Two years after Kim Davis first made national headlines, her anti-marriage equality case is closed, at least for now ― but it will come at a cost to local taxpayers. 

Davis, who is the county clerk for Kentucky’s Rowan County, steadfastly refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in the wake of the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling on marriage equality, citing her religious beliefs. Though Davis was briefly jailed for contempt of court, she went on to become the darling of right-wing conservatives, including former Republican presidential hopefuls Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee. 

On Friday, a federal judge awarded $222,695 in legal fees to the attorneys of four couples ― two same-sex, two opposite-sex ― who were denied marriage licenses by Davis. (The clerk briefly refused to issue licenses to all couples in 2015 as her legal troubles began to mount.) However, U.S. District Judge David Bunning ordered the state, as opposed to Davis herself, to pay the fees. 

His reasoning was simple. “Davis represented the Commonwealth of Kentucky when she refused to issue marriage licenses to legally eligible couples,” he said, according to The New York Times. “The buck stops there.”

Well that's awesome.

And it certainly sends a strong message any other religious wing nuts who feel their personal prejudices are more important than the rights of American citizens.

You know I was just thinking how long it has been since we have heard anything about this Kentucky Fried Lunatic.

Here's hoping this is the final time we ever do.

Sarah Palin uses the Bible to condemn same sex marriage.

Okay well I had to visit Palin's stupid new website to read this, but you all can read it here: 

“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?” Matthew 19:4-5 (Looks like Palin is moving ever closer to her eventual career as a televangelist.)

When God created Adam and Eve as similar but oh-so-different, those very differences created the institution that’s so hotly debated today: marriage. (Actually marriage predates religion, at least the religions that we see today, and was originally typically  seen as strategic alliance between families. Neither love, nor god, had much of anything to do with it.)


He made us “male and female,” so “for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife.” (Once again primitive quotes from religious texts have virtually nothing to do with our modern understanding of marriage.)

On June 26, 2015, five of the nine appointed Supreme Court justices voted to redefine marriage, knocking down laws all across the country. No longer, according to the court, can marriage be defined as the union of one man and one woman. (And that is what we refer to as "progress.")

But Psalm 33:10-12 says God is ultimately in control of the nations and His plans stand firm forever, meaning everything He ordains won’t be un-ordained, even by five black robes. (Somebody needs to remind this nitwit that we live by the rule of law in America. Not by Biblical law.)

Franklin Graham brilliantly stated, “With all due respect to the court, it did not define marriage, and therefore is not entitled to re-define it.” (Nobody cares, and that is a fairly loose translation of the word "brilliantly.".)

No matter what happens next from the courts, and there’s bound to be a “next” or many “nexts,” God’s law for marriage and family remains the same. And I’m sticking with His plan.

As individuals and as a society, we need to strengthen marriage, not redefine it through the courts or devalue it through sin. Do something special to strengthen your own marriage, remember that it is a union before God, and remember that the family is sometimes called “the domestic church.”

Let me remind all of you that Palin HAD to get married because she was knocked up. Just like her mother.

She also got married in a courthouse, so there was no "union before god."

There is also quite a bit of evidence to suggest that the child she was carrying at the time was NOT Todd's son. I don't think the Bible has a lot of nice things to say about THAT either.

Add to that the fact that Palin also had an affair with Todd's business partner, and it seems that she is lobbing stones inside the shakiest of glass houses.

If we also consider Bristol's two pregnancies out of wedlock, and Track beating his fiancee either before or after he impregnated her, also outside of wedlock, it just makes everything Palin has had ghostwritten for her in this post seem almost like she is purposefully inviting mockery.

Either that or she is the least self aware person on the planet.

You decide.

Draft of new executive order seems designed to protect religious people from progress.

Courtesy of The Nation: 

A leaked copy of a draft executive order titled “Establishing a Government-Wide Initiative to Respect Religious Freedom,” obtained by The Investigative Fund and The Nation, reveals sweeping plans by the Trump administration to legalize discrimination. 

The four-page draft order, a copy of which is currently circulating among federal staff and advocacy organizations, construes religious organizations so broadly that it covers “any organization, including closely held for-profit corporations,” and protects “religious freedom” in every walk of life: “when providing social services, education, or healthcare; earning a living, seeking a job, or employing others; receiving government grants or contracts; or otherwise participating in the marketplace, the public square, or interfacing with Federal, State or local governments.” 

The draft order seeks to create wholesale exemptions for people and organizations who claim religious or moral objections to same-sex marriage, premarital sex, abortion, and trans identity, and it seeks to curtail women’s access to contraception and abortion through the Affordable Care Act.

Language in the draft document specifically protects the tax-exempt status of any organization that “believes, speaks, or acts (or declines to act) in accordance with the belief that marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman, sexual relations are properly reserved for such a marriage, male and female and their equivalents refer to an individual’s immutable biological sex as objectively determined by anatomy, physiology, or genetics at or before birth, and that human life begins at conception and merits protection at all stages of life.”

In other words this order would repeal much of the progress made by the Obama administration, and once again allow Christian business owners to discriminate based on sexuality, gender, and lifestyle.

That would mean these fundamentalist Christians, Jews, and even Muslims, could use this order to deny adequate healthcare to women, kick gay students out of their private schools, and refuse to rent to any person, or persons, whose lifestyle they believed conflicted with their faith in some way.

It should be noted that this is still in a draft form, so it is by no means official. 

However based on everything that we have seen since Trump took office I have a high level of certainty that a lot of what is in this draft will find its way to the final executive order.

In your good news of the day, Kentucky country clerk Kim Davis might have to pay $225,000 in legal fees accrued while fighting to keep same sex couples from getting marriage licenses.

Courtesy of the Lexington Herald Leader:

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.

Alabama judge Roy Moore loses his job for defying law on same sex marriage. Your feel good story of the day.

Courtesy of WIAT: 

The Alabama Court of the Judiciary has suspended Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore without pay for the remainder of his term in office. 

The court ruled Friday morning to suspend Moore without pay for the remainder of his term in office. He will also have to pay for court costs. 

Moore was found guilty on all six charges, that he failed to respect and comply with the law for telling probate judges not to allow same sex marriages. The same panel removed Moore in 2003 after he refused to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the state judicial building. He was later re-elected as chief justice after losing a race for governor.

Roy Moore of course is an outspoken opponent of same sex marriage, and anti-government zealot, and of course a Right Wing hero.

I imagine that now he will be considered a martyr to their cause and embark on a speaking tour during which he vilifies President Obama and the liberals to crowds at Alt-Right political rallies and Evangelical tent revivals.

Phyllis Schlafly has died. I know what song is playing in your head, and that's not nice.

Courtesy of NBC News:  

Cultural conservative activist and icon Phyllis Schlafly died Monday at her home in St. Louis, according to a spokesman for the Eagle Forum political group she founded. 

She was 92. 

Schlafly rose to prominence and influence among conservative Republicans beginning in the early 1960s through her focus on promoting conservative family values, namely her opposition to feminism and abortion rights.

In fact Schlafly was opposed not only to equal rights for women and their right to choose, she was also against marriage equality and immigration reform.

She believed that a woman's primary role in life was as a wife and mother, and that all other things such as employment, education, and self actualization were secondary.

Essentially Schlafly opposed every human rights advance in the last four decades, and of course she used Christianity and the Bible as her excuse for doing so. 

That might lead one to ask, in this age of enlightenment who could possibly still respect this repellent human being?

Funny you should ask.

Courtesy of the Facebook page for the president of the Wasilla chapter of the self loathing club for women:

She Went Down Swinging! - Phyllis Schlafly. 

May she rest in peace. 

Iconic. Heroic. No one can fill her sensible high heeled shoes. She opened my eyes to the rights and wrongs in worldly government back in my college days as she spoke about the Reagan era and all that Reagan's pro-America efforts were doing for our great country. Many of us owe our political awakening to Phyllis Schlafly. 

Our friend is now in the arms of her Lord, rooting for all of us - and expecting us! - to do the right thing.

Of course Palin was a huge fan, how could she not be?

Donald Trump, just like Ted Cruz, has every intention of pushing the Supreme Court to the far Right.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Sunday that, if he becomes president, he would “strongly consider” appointing Supreme Court judges who would overturn the court’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage. 
]
“It has been ruled upon,” Trump said on Fox News Sunday. “If I’m elected I would be very strong in putting certain judges on the bench that maybe could change things.” 

When asked by host Chris Wallace whether that meant trying to appoint justices to overturn the ruling, Trump said he would “strongly consider that, yes.” 

"I wish it was done by the state,” he said. “I disagree with the Supreme Court … it should be a states’ rights issue. And that’s the way it should have been ruled on.”

This is usually where I mention how important it is for us to elect a strong Democrat in 2016.

But do I really even have to say that anymore? 

Same sex marriage is now legal in Ireland. And progress takes another step forward.

Courtesy of the BBC: 

Same-sex marriage has now become legal in the Republic of Ireland, after new legislation came into effect on Monday. 

The law was passed after a referendum in May, when the Irish state became the first in the world to legalise same-sex civil marriage by popular vote. 

It is not yet known when and where the first same-sex wedding will be held. 

But the first people to be affected are same-sex couples who have already wed legally abroad. Their marriages are now automatically recognised by the state.

Of course the Catholic church, and other Christian organizations, had  campaigned hard against this new law, but ultimately they could not stand in the way of progress and acceptance.

Very happy for Ireland, and even more so for the many LGBT folks who will no longer have to feel like second hand citizens.

These are exciting times indeed.

Barack Obama first sitting President to be featured on cover of LGBT magazine. I can hear the conservative heads exploding already, can't you?

President Obama will be the first sitting President of the United States to have posed for the cover of a LGBT publication, it was announced Tuesday. Obama was named the "ally of the year" by Out magazine. 

Obama will be featured on the cover in a black and white photograph. 

"This is the first time a sitting president has been photographed for the cover of an LGBT title, a historic moment in itself, and a statement on how much his administration has done to advance a singularly volatile issue that tarnished the reputations of both President Clinton and President Bush," the magazine wrote on its website. 

The magazine's editor-in-chief sat down with the President for an interview, to be published as part of the publication's "Out100" 2015 edition.

(You can read that interview here.)

I think considering the President's support for LGBT rights, and how much progress has been made on their behalf during his presidency, that this seems kind of like a no brainer.

Of course it will absolutely be misrepresented by the Right Wing as proof positive that Obama is actually a closet homosexual. But then again what magazine cover could he had posed for where they WOULDN'T have seen it as proof that he was gay, a socialist, a Muslim, or a traitor?

Well it appears that Kim Davis taking that courageous stand DID manage to shift opinions about gay marriage in this country. Of course they shifted AGAINST her position, but hey nobody's perfect!

Courtesy of Deadstate:  

A new Associated Press-Gfk poll has revealed that most Americans now believe that government officials should be required to issue marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples, even if the official has religious beliefs that oppose same-sex marriage. 

The poll shows 56 percent of Americans now believe that government officials and clerks should be required to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, regardless of personal religious objections. Only 41 percent of Americans polled believe that religious government officials, like notorious Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, have a right to deny couples a marriage license. 

The new numbers signify a shift in thought from a July poll taken weeks after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage. The July poll showed that 49 percent of Americans believed that officials with religious objections had the right to refuse couples a marriage license. 

Surprisingly, Republican opinions have shifted the most dramatically in the past four months. While a majority 58 percent still support religious objections, the number is down 14 points from July’s 72 percent.

To be honest this shift cannot be entirely laid at the feet of Kim Davis, but let's face it when you are looking for the ugly face of Christian homophobia and discrimination in this country she turned out to be perfect for the job.

And by the way I am NOT focusing on her appearance.

I am talking about the deep down ugly that she tries to camouflage with religion.

Because beauty may only be skin deep, but this kind of prejudice and hatred penetrates the marrow of your bones.

Vatican spokesman: There is "a sense of regret" concerning the Pope's meeting with Kim Davis.

Courtesy Yahoo News: 

Pope Francis' meeting last week with an American woman at the center of a row over gay marriage was not something he had sought and should not be seen as an endorsement of her views, the Vatican said on Friday. 

One Vatican official said there was "a sense of regret" that the pope had ever seen Kim Davis, a Kentucky county clerk who went to jail in September for refusing to honor a U.S. Supreme Court ruling and issue same-sex marriage licenses. 

The encounter in Washington was originally kept secret and has sparked widespread debate since it became public this week, proving something of a misstep for the pontiff. 

Looking to smother the fierce controversy, Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said Davis was one of "several dozen" people who had been invited by the Vatican ambassador to see Francis during his visit to the U.S. capital. 

"The Pope did not enter into the details of the situation of Mrs. Davis and his meeting with her should not be considered a form of support of her position in all of its particular and complex aspects," Lombardi said in a statement.

That sort of falls in line with some of the other recent reporting indicating that the Pope may have been tricked into meeting Davis, and that she was just a person among many to have a face to face with the Pope but that it was by no means an endorsement of her position.

Since I thought that overall the Pope's visit to America was very positive, I would like to believe that the Pope simply did not know who this person was, or understand how this interaction would be interpreted.

However I would hope that there was some disciplinary action taken on whoever set this thing up and gave the okay for it to happen in the first place.

Homophobic county clerk Kim Davis met with Pope Francis during his visit to America. Wait, what?

Courtesy of NPR: 

"I never thought I would meet the Pope," Davis said via her legal team. "Who am I to have this rare opportunity? I am just a County Clerk who loves Jesus and desires with all my heart to serve him." 

The meeting is said to have occurred last Thursday, the same day Francis addressed Congress. Davis was in Washington for another purpose: She received a Cost of Discipleship award at the Family Research Council's Values Voter Summit on Friday night. 

"Just knowing the pope is on track with what we're doing, and agreeing, you know, kind of validates everything," Davis tells ABC News Wednesday morning, speaking about her meeting with Pope Francis and the stand she has taken against same-sex marriage. 

She adds, "I've weighed the cost, and I'm prepared to do whatever it takes."

Asked for comment Vatican spokesmen did not deny that the meeting took place. 

You know all of my warm fuzzies about this Pope just dried right up now.

Either he is dedicated to helping to oppress the LGBT community, or he simply does not understand American law. But either way this is a huge screw up on his part.

And you have to know that this is going to re-energize support for Davis and reinvigorate her desire to be seen as a martyr to the cause of "protecting traditional Biblical marriage."

Kentucky county clerk, and now world famous homophobe, Kim Davis changes her party affiliation from Democrat to Republican.

Courtesy of AP: 

Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, a longtime Democrat, says she is switching to the Republican Party because she feels abandoned by Democrats in her fight against same-sex marriage. 

Davis' made the announcement while in Washington, D.C., to attend the Family Research Council's Value Voters Summit, said Charla Bansley, a spokeswoman for Liberty Counsel, which represents Davis in her legal battles. 

"I've always been a Democrat, but the party left me," Davis said, according to Bansley.

No I would say that SHE abandoned the Democratic party four years ago when she became an Apostolic Christian.  I'm not saying there aren't any of those among Democrats but I would be willing to bet that they are few in number.

Somehow I doubt that there are too many Democrats arguing for her to stay in the party.

In fact I don't think many of us realized she was one of us in the first place.

So look GOP. You may have lost a Speaker of the House today, but you gained an anti-gay marriage religious nut.

Congratulations.

Why Kentucky clerk Kim Davis does not want to resign: "If I resign I lose my voice."

Courtesy of Raw Story:  

Rowan County, Kentucky clerk Kim Davis remained insistent that she was right in denying marriage licenses to same-sex couples during an interview on Wednesday with Fox News host Megyn Kelly. 

“When the legal challenges ended up not going in your favor, many people have asked, why not just resign at that point?” Kelly asked. 

“If I resign I lose my voice,” Davis replied. “Why should I have to quit a job that I love and that I’m good at? I’ve been a county employee and served the public well for over 26 years before I got elected. It comes back to, they can accommodate for all sorts of issues, and we ask for one simple accommodation and we cannot receive it.” 

The interview aired hours after a federal judge rejected Davis’ request for a stay on the order imposed upon her to issue the licenses regardless of sexual orientation.

It does not matter if Davis has "served the public well for 26 years." She is not serving the public well today and she should leave her position so that somebody who is not a Christo-fascist can take the job.

I found it almost incredible that at one point Davis says "Have we come to a place that we can't accommodate everybody? That we can't agree to disagree, and still have respect for each other?"

Of course the answer is yes. We can.

But apparently SHE cannot. Nor can she use her authority to deny rights to a group of people with whom she disagrees.

Oh and in response to her contention that she is simply upholding the word of God, and how God defined marriage "since the beginning of time," perhaps Davis needs to study this a little more carefully.

Oh and as for that "beginning of time" statement, perhaps an Anthropologist of Archaeologist could explain to her that neither Christianity nor Judaism has been around since the "beginning of time."

Stephen Colbert beautifully schools Ted Cruz about Ronald Reagan's legacy.

Courtesy of HuffPo: 

"Late Show" host Stephen Colbert confronted GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz over the legacy of Ronald Reagan on Monday night, pointing out that the former president was less conservative than Cruz and others often suggest. 

“Reagan raised taxes. Reagan actually had an amnesty program for illegal immigrants. Neither of those things would allow Reagan to be nominated today," Colbert said, drawing cheers from his audience. "So to what level can you truly emulate Ronald Reagan?" 

When Cruz deflected, Colbert pressed him on the specifics. 

"Raising taxes and amnesty for illegal immigrants," Colbert said. "Could you agree with Reagan on those two things?" 

"No, of course not," the senator from Texas admitted, but added that Reagan signed the largest tax cut in history. 

Did Rafael just dis the Republican's most sacred icon?

Yes, I think he did.

Later Colbert corrected Cruz about Reagan's tax policies and asked him if he would be willing to compromise with the other side. Cruz gave a typically evasive non-answer.

Cruz, like most conservatives, has no real understanding of who Ronald Reagan was, or what happened during his presidency. 

Colbert also, on the subject of gay marriage, had to explain to Cruz that marriage is not mentioned in the Constitution.

Nice to see that moving to CBS has not dulled Colbert's edge when conducting interviews. He is still usually more well informed than his guests and ready to call them out on their BS.

Kim Davis has a case of the sads because people are claiming that she a "hypocrite of a Christian."

Courtesy of ABC News:

"What people say about me does not define who I am. That’s everybody’s opinion and that’s everybody’s right," Davis told ABC News. 

Davis said she's been "called Hitler, I’ve been called [a] hypocrite, I’ve been called a homophobe." 

(Okay well the Hitler reference is unfair, but the second part.....)

"I’ve been called things and names that I didn’t even say when I was in the world. Those names don’t hurt me," Davis said. "What probably hurt me the worst is when someone tells me that my God does not love me or that my God is not happy with me, that I am a hypocrite of a Christian."

Okay now when Davis says "when I was in the world" what she means by that is that as a born again Christian she is no longer part of the natural world, and is only vapor waiting to be transported to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Which, let's face it, is pretty batshit crazy.

So here is my question.

If you are no longer "of this world" then what in the hell are you doing denying marriage licenses to people who are "of this world?"

If you have the golden ticket to heaven then why not ignore all of the heathens around you and sit in your house all day watching the Trinity Broadcasting Network until you number comes up? 

After all there are people who are actually present in this life, and they would like to enjoy that life without homophobic Fundamentalists fucking things up for them. 

Kim Davis removes not only her name but also the name of the county on new marriage licenses. May render them invalid.

Courtesy of Yahoo News:  

A deputy for the Kentucky county clerk who was jailed after refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples questioned on Friday the validity of the licenses he has issued since his boss' return. 

In a filing with the federal judge overseeing a lawsuit against Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis for not issuing marriage licenses, the attorney for deputy clerk Brian Mason said he has "some substantial questions" about the new licenses Davis altered and gave him to issue after she returned to work on Monday. 

He is concerned the licenses do not mention the name of the county. Davis has directed him to sign the licenses as a notary public, instead of as a deputy county clerk, Mason's attorney, Richard Hughes, said in the documents. 

While Davis also does not believe the licenses are valid, no one has challenged their legality in court. Both the state's governor and attorney general have said the new licenses are valid.

You know I am really tired of this lunatic. 

I think this is clearly an attempt on her part to render these licenses invalid, and though it may not work it is still defying the orders given by the judge which specifically forbade her from interfering in the issuance of these marriage licenses.

Personally I hope that the judge finds her in contempt of a court order and has her arrested again.

And I further hope that those Oath Keeper assholes try to interfere on her behalf, because I happen to know that law enforcement is ready for them.

"Tide To Go" commercial mocks opposition to marriage equality.

You know I sometimes wonder how ignorant people feel when their prejudices are openly mocked on TV shows or commercials.

I don't care of course, I just wonder.
