Tyranny
Did the KY legislature meet to re write their marriage laws?
The salient part of the article, “Five of the six deputy clerks told U.S. District Judge David Bunning that will hand out marriage licenses to gay couples beginning Friday. The lone holdout is Davis’ son.”
What law authorizes this?
Too bad she didn't refuse to show up in a Fed Courthouse. Once she did, she gave them jurisdiction.
Refuse to show up, let the Marshalls come to arrest her with the Sheriff by her side.
I know, times when we lived in a just Country but I can fantasize....

An attorney for the couples who sued Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis over her refusal to issue marriage licenses says she “holds the keys to her jail cell.”
Attorney Laura Landenwich made the comments Thursday outside the courthouse after a judge jailed Davis for contempt of court. Davis has refused to follow the judge’s order to issue the licenses.
Davis’ attorney Roger Gannam said that this is the first time in history that an American has been jailed for believing in their conscience.

Fed-Nazis!!

Five of six deputy clerks in a Kentucky county say they’ll issue marriage licenses to gay couples despite their boss’s defiance, but some are reluctant and emotional about the decision.
Deputy clerk Melissa Thompson told U.S. District Judge David Bunning that she doesn’t really want to, but she will comply with the law.
She wept and said: “I’m a preacher’s daughter, and this is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life.”
And an attorney for deputy clerk Kristie Plank says she’s reluctant but will issues the licenses. The attorney cites Plank’s 11-year-old child and financial and family obligations, saying she can’t go to jail.
Five of Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis’ deputy clerks have said they are willing to issue marriage licenses. Judge David Bunning said that would purge the contempt charge against Davis.
Nathan Davis, Kim’s son and who works in the office, was the only deputy to refuse the judge. The others still cited concerns — a mix of religious objections and questions about their legal authority to sign off on forms without say so from Davis.
Attorneys also called into question whether any licenses issued in Davis’ absence would be legal.
Bunning said couples would have to judge that risk on their own. He indicated that he would lift the contempt charge against Davis if deputies began issuing forms, but he said he was reluctant to release her too quickly.
Bunning said he didn’t want her to return only to re-implement the policy and create a “ping pong” match in the courts.
Bite-Me Bunnning!! You have terrorized these people! Nazi!!
No, America had to die before that happened. It was replaced by this wretched union that makes a mockery of America.
if a couple LEAVES KY
AND MOVES TO TX
are they still brother and sister....
U.S. District Judge David “Burn in Hell” Bunning
Congress should impeach this judge and remove him from the bench for violating his oath of supporting and protecting the Constitution. He as violated the first amendment of the Constitution.
It’s a shame their governor is a democrat and not a decent American. I’d like to see Kim Davis on their state Supreme Court, or eventually the US Supreme Court. She’s a good person with a sense of justice and an appreciation for individual freedom.
Kim Davis: Prisoner of Conscience.
Jailed for refusing a lawless order to sign fraudulent legal documents.
