Lion Heart 15,041 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Citing “conduct that violates civil rights,” lawyers for Gov. Matt Bevin say former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis should be held responsible for nearly $225,000 in legal fees and court costs incurred by couples who sued her in 2015 when she refused to issue marriage licenses because of her religious opposition to same-sex marriage. Although Bevin, a Republican, publicly has praised Davis as “an inspiration ... to the children of America,” his attorneys are taking a more critical tone in court briefs, blaming the ex-clerk for failing to do her job following the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 2015 decision legalizing gay marriage. A three-judge panel will hear arguments about who should bear the case’s expenses Thursday at the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. A district judge ruled in 2017 that the couples suing for marriage licenses clearly prevailed and that the state of Kentucky must pay their fees and costs. Bevin appealed that ruling, hoping to hand the bill instead to the Rowan County clerk’s office. Davis acted alone, without any state support, the governor’s lawyers told the 6th Circuit in briefs ahead of the oral arguments. “Her local policy stood in direct conflict with her statutory obligation to issue marriage licenses to qualified Kentucky couples. The local policy also undermined the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s interest in upholding the rule of law,” Bevin attorney Palmer G. Vance II wrote in one brief. https://www.kentucky.com/news/politics-government/article225247295.html ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleah 7 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I was raised in Kim Davis' religion. Long hair, long skirts, shirts can't be low cut. The whole 9 yards. I still have a love/hate relationship with my Mom because of this. She hates Lady Gaga so I had to make Gaga my Mother in a sense because Gaga teaches me how to be like everyone else.

JustinTrudeau 2,419 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I really don't understand why Kim made a fuss in the first place. She works for the government, there (should) be no religious influence. Anyhow, glad she didn't get away with this BS in the end. I fell down the stairs once as an actor.
