A lawyer for Kentucky clerk Kim Davis on Monday said that her legal team will file a new lawsuit against Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear (D), accusing him of failing to provide an accommodation for Davis.
Harry Mihet, a lawyer with the conservative Liberty Counsel, told reporters that Davis is happy to allow her deputy clerks to issue licenses to gay couples and “does not want to defy the orders of the federal court.” But Mihet said she will not authorize the licenses herself.
Davis altered the Rowan County marriage licenses to remove her name, title and authority upon returning to work on Monday, according to Mihet. She has “grave doubts” about the validity of the licenses issued while she was in jail and those without her name, Mihet said.
Davis’ lawyers will also continue to pursue litigation previously filed by Davis. On Friday, her legal team filed a petition asking the the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to stop the district judge’s order demanding that Davis and her office to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
I’d like to know who is funding Mrs Davis’s legal fees. Lawyers don’t come cheap. Even the stupid ones collect fees.
Moran.
I hope the judge considers this meddling with his decision.
Kim Davis has “grave doubts” about the validity of the licenses issued while she was in jail and those without her name, - that would be the world’s preeminent legal scholar Kim Davis AKA ‘dumb as a stump’ Kim Davis?
While I understand why he did it, THIS is what happens when a judge tries to be lenient with a nutjob. She has now been given the functional equivalent of an unlawful religious exemption and the gas can and matches with which to burn the freekin county clerk’s office and the system of laws down around her. Make no mistake: This is, so far, a HUGE loss for us and a MASSIVE win for her and her kind. She should be in jail until she agrees to follow the law and perform her legally binding duties as county clerk. There is no arguing otherwise. we’ve seen this multiple times before in our history and the legal precedent is abundantly clear: she must do her legal duty or suffer for her refusal. Enough is enough.
And this fucking lawsuit against the governor is yet another frivolous joke for which the lawyers should face sanctions and disbarment. There is simply no colorable, facially meritorious claim whatsoever that this religious fucking twit should receive an “accommodation” or any sort of exemption or leniency at all.
JAIL KIM DAVIS. NOW!
