They sued her directly, not the county, so it very well may. Good.
Is that something courts can access to pay fines, or is it that she would need to cash it out early to cover the fines?
Why did this take so long?
Kim Davis was paid by tax money. Tax payers include the LGBT community. She was taking their money for a job and she refuses to do it.
That woman is a hideous toad on the outside (sorry to real toads) and a burning dumpster fire of dogshit on the inside. (Apologies to real burning dumpster fires of dogshit)
Apologies to real burning dumpster fires of dogshit
Thanks, man, no offense taken.
Why do people always focus on women's appearances when discussing topics wholly unrelated to appearance?
No-one cares what she looks like. We care about what she did (used her religion as a crutch to deny some gay dudes tax benefits) and why she did it (because she hates the first amendment), but not what she looks like.
Why do people always focus on women's appearances when discussing topics wholly unrelated to appearance?
Because misogyny is pervasive in culture and when most people perceive a woman as “bad”, it suddenly feels ok for them to reduce her to her appearance. Most folks are not nearly as enlightened as they like to think.
I suppose I feel emboldened as I perceive her evil to have seeped through her skin.
Were she a socially progressive, helpful person I would probably not need to attack her looks as an inner beauty would be shining through and making an outwardly lovely person.
It's not just women - you see it with pretty much any non-conventionally attractive person who does shitty things
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Davis, the former Rowan County clerk, drew international attention when she was briefly jailed in 2015 over her refusal, which she based on her belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.
A second couple who sued, James Yates and Will Smith, were awarded no damages on Wednesday by U.S. District Judge David Bunning.
She was parodied on Saturday Night Live and embraced by conservative politicians who traveled to Kentucky to support her.
Davis was released only after her staff issued the licenses on her behalf but removed her name from the form.
The former clerk had argued that a legal doctrine called qualified immunity protected her from being sued for damages by the couples.
Ermold and Moore had a highly publicized showdown with Davis at the Rowan County clerk’s office in 2015 after they asked for a marriage license with news cameras surrounding them.
The original article contains 402 words, the summary contains 149 words. Saved 63%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Good.
Davis is a stupid, hurtful, person.
