Supreme Court rules in favor of gay marriage

Here's my unlikely prediction.

She'll stay in jail for a little while, then return to her position and continue granting marriage licenses without her signature saying, "Look, I've done all that I can do."

Next election, having neutralized any possibility that some fundamentalist opponent might come out of the woodwork and campaign against gay marriage, she'll be returned to office by the county's voters.

Then, she'll fire all the deputy clerks and hire her kin.

 

The Kumbayah Brigades are out on lib sites (DK) hate rating and handing out bans for any references to Kim Davis deemed to be "degrading" or "personally disrespectful."

And libs wonder why they lose.

 

Because they have terrible ideas?

 

Because they curl up in the fetal position in mortal fear of the idea they may have hurt somebody's feelings.

 

Making fun of Kim Davis for her looks isn't exactly the same as making fun of Barack Obama for his race, but it's in the team picture.

10 Facts You Should Know About Jailed Clerk Kim Davis

1. Davis only asked that the Kentucky marriage license forms be changed so her name would not appear on them. She would record any license without her name affixed. Marriage licenses remain in county records permanently. Davis said, "I never imagined a day like this would come, where I would be asked to violate a central teaching of Scripture and of Jesus Himself regarding marriage. To issue a marriage license which conflicts with God's definition of marriage, with my name affixed to the certificate, would violate my conscience."
2. Before the U.S. Supreme Court issued its opinion in Obergefell on June 26, 2015, 57 clerks, including Davis, wrote a letter to Kentucky legislators during the regular session, pleading with them to "get a bill on the floor to help protect clerks" who had a religious objection to authorizing the licenses. The Kentucky Clerks Association also recommend that the names of clerks be removed from the forms.
3. Davis was elected County Clerk as a democrat in November 2014 and took office in January 2015, after her mother retired from the position. Before January, Davis was a Deputy Clerk for 27 years.
4. Kim Davis became a Christian at a church service she attended to honor the dying wish of her mother-in-law, who passed away on a Sunday morning. Davis said, "Following the death of my godly mother-in-law over four years ago, I went to church to fulfill her dying wish. There I heard a message of grace and forgiveness and surrendered my life to Jesus Christ."
5. Davis, who is married to one of the 3 men she married and divorced, admits she was a sinner before she accepted Jesus Christ four years ago and changed her life.
6. Kim Davis does not hate homosexuals or lesbians, as she explained: "I have no animosity toward anyone and harbor no ill will. To me this has never been a gay or lesbian issue. It is about marriage and God's Word. It is a matter of religious liberty...."
7. Davis is a professing Christian who, before incarceration, attended church worship services multiple times per week and held a weekly Bible study with women at a local jail.
8. As elected officials, Kentucky Clerks can only be removed from office if impeached by the Kentucky House of Representatives and convicted by the Senate. The Kentucky General Assembly does not meet until January 2016.
9. The Supreme Court did not change Kentucky's marriage law or its forms, but invalidated the legislation limiting marriage to opposite sex couples. It is up to each state's legislature to conform the law to the opinion. Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers filed a brief in Davis's case, pointing out to the judge: "The Supreme Court ruling has completely obliterated the definition of marriage and the process for obtaining a marriage license in Kentucky. The General Assembly will be compelled to amend many sections of Kentucky law, not just for the issuance of marriage licenses, to comply with the recent Supreme Court decision." The brief pointed out that the Governor can call a special session of the legislature, or he could issue an executive order about the licenses to later be codified by the legislature during the 2016 session. A judge is not a super-legislature that can rewrite the law.
10. Davis is being represented at no charge by attorneys with Liberty Counsel, an international nonprofit litigation, education, and policy organization dedicated to advancing religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and the family. Liberty Counsel was founded in 1989 and has offices in Florida, Virginia and Washington, D.C., an outreach in Israel, and hundreds of advocates around the world.

 

You know, Annie Wilkes jumper aside, I don't see why her looks should even be up for discussion. She's 49 years old. What do people expect 49-year-olds to look like?

 

Davis could be, in Christian parlance, the weaker sister. Her name being on those licenses have no bearing on her faithfulness to Christ. If she thinks so, quit.

But, again, my suspicion tells me it's not that. Rather, her behavior suggests she'a mostly a stubborn person who'd just as soon do what she wants and not have consequences.

 

She turns 51 this month. I expect all 49 year old women to look better than this hag.

 

So?

 

Alma nailed this earlier. If you are an Army general who becomes a Quaker and renounces war, I respect your beliefs but I also expect you to resign your commission.

 

Will there be an endless supply of gay couples wanting to get married in Rowan County? Maybe she stays in the pen until they are all signed up, then they let her out and back on the job.

But I bet there are two holding back, waiting to jump her.
