A federal appeals court on Tuesday revived a damages lawsuit against Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who in 2015 refused to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples because it conflicted with her Christian beliefs.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati said a lower court judge erred in finding that damages claims by David Ermold and David Moore became moot, after a new state law last July excused clerks like Davis, from Rowan County, from having to sign marriage license forms.
While the couple eventually did get a license, a three-judge appeals court panel said they could sue over Davis' initial refusal to grant one, after the U.S. Supreme Court in June 2015 said the Constitution guaranteed a right to same-sex marriage.
"The district court's characterization of this case as simply contesting the 'no marriage licenses' policy is inaccurate because Ermold and Moore did not seek an injunction-they sought only damages," Circuit Judge Karen Nelson Moore wrote. "The record does not support an argument that (their) damages claims are insubstantial or otherwise foreclosed."

Well, vindictiveness IS a very common homosexual trait. If there is a homo gene I guarantee there's a vindictive gene and a petty gene on the same chromosome.
The left eats its own.
Literally in this case.
This is forcing satanic behaviors onto a Christian. Complete removal of Right Reason and Natural Law from our legal system which is totally unconstitutional and sets up a Vice System which only forces Unnatural Law which is “null and void”.
The filthy, vile act of sodomy should still be a felony and anyone who promotes such an irrational, meaningless, dehumanizing behavior should be put in prison for trying to corrupt and infect the young with dysfunctional, vile behaviors which tear down civil society and segregates males and females.
There is no such “Right” to sodomize others, but there is a Natural Right to the Freedom of Thought, Religion and Association that CAN NEVER BE INFRINGED UPON, since it is an UNALIENABLE Natural Right from God.
The “justices” need to be put in prison for forcing Satanism on this women and into our court system to corrupt and destroy “Justice” (the Queen of Virtue for the evil, irrational, dehumanizing Vice of sodomy).
They should have their case thrown out! They “suffered” no damages at all. Should they prevail, NO ONE is safe from the vindictive Gay Mafia. Next it will be some kid in junior high is suing because his teacher wouldn’t use “they” when referring to him as he identifies as gender-neutral.
