Now it’s the love that won’t shut the f@$# up!

Kim Davis, the Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk who spent five days in jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in compliance with a judge’s order – and who resumed work a few days ago – is still not doing her court-ordered job, say couples who’ve tried to get their proper wedding documentation.
And they’ve taken their case back to court, saying Davis needs to fully comply or face fines.
Reuters reported Davis is issuing forms that contain material changes, not the original, official ones. Specifically, she’s taken the documents pertaining to marriage licenses and removed the references to Rowan County and her clerk’s office. “Gay” couples seeking marriages are instead given forms that list deputy clerk Brian Mason – the entity who issued the licenses during Davis’s jail time – as a notary public.
But “gay” couples say: that substitution won’t suffice. They’re charging Davis is still violating U.S. District Judge David Bunning’s order, particularly the part where he said she could leave jail, but only on the condition she not interfere with the issuance of marriage licenses any more.
Lawyers representing the “gay” couples have filed a motion in court, alleging Davis is non-compliant with a federal order, Reuters reported. Attorneys with the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky say the documents for “gay”-marriage licenses should either be the old style, with the proper office reference, or the clerk’s office should be fined.
Mat Staver, the attorney for Davis, said the new filing is little more than a witch hunt.
“The ACLU’s motion to again hold Kim Davis in contempt reveals that their interest is not the license but rather a marriage license bearing the name of Kim Davis,” he said, Reuters reported. “They want her scalp to hang on the wall as a trophy.”

They won't quit until Kim completely submits. Yet another case of the gaystapo being sore winners.
Notice she was released right after the protestors showed up at the Judge’s house...
It’s been said before here but it bears repeating. We should fondly remember the days when homosexuality was the “love that dared not speak its name”.
Now it’s the love that won’t shut the f@$# up!
Let me see if I understand. A marriage license issued by the deputy clerk and without her authorization, while she is in jail is valid. One issued by the deputy clerk without her name on it is not valid.
Maybe I don’t understand.
They are giving her exactly what she wants....publicity. She’s playing them like a fiddle.
The goal is to eliminate Christianity. She is but one of the first. There will be more.
Just hate her. Understanding is homophobic.
You aren’t one of those thinkers, are you Bruce?
RE: A marriage license issued by the deputy clerk and without her authorization, while she is in jail is valid
That’s the point, many are claiming that it isn’t valid.
The validity is still in question.
There needs to be legislation or absent that, an executive order from the governor, changing the way marriage licenses are issued since the Supreme Court’s decision has changed the way things are being handles in Kentucky ( Prohibition of Same-sex marriage is STILL the law in Kentucky and no legislation has been passed to change that ).
I fear she will not be strong enough to carry this fight alone.
RE: I fear she will not be strong enough to carry this fight alone.
Only if conservatives and devout Christians abandon her.
Only then will she be fighting alone.
But even if everyone abandon her, remember this -— SHE IS NOT REALLY ALONE.
They have always been loud and abrasive. It’s a mental disorder.
US District Court Judge Bunning saw no problem with marriage licenses which had been ‘altered so that “Rowan County” rather than “Kim Davis” appears on the line reserved for the name of the county clerk’ (footnote 1 of his September 8, 2015 order to Release Kim Davis) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3339657/posts
See post #14.
This is about getting HER signature onto those documents. Nothing else. It’s not enough that they have licenses certified as valid per the ruling of a Federal Judge (and are asking him to directly contradict his earlier ruling) they want their ounce of blood and to add insult to injury. Because being able to marry isn’t enough, they need to rub the losers face in the ground in order to be satisfied.
Of interest is that they’re claiming a “two tier” system. So long as the Clerks office is issuing the same exact, revised and signatureless, licenses to Heterosexual couples, that argument should be thrown outvas specious.

So, now because a Judge says so, it is now law?
Hey, let’s save Kentucky money by permanently closing their legislature and let guys like Bunning do all the legislating for us.
They’re also giving the KY GOP and Matt Bevins what they want.
State elections are in a little over a month. This may kick the major statewide offices and state house of reps over to the GOP.
The “arrested for being a Christian” optic is pretty persuasive to a lot of people.
There is a tagline in there somewhere.
I think the judge is full of it. The marriage licenses he approved of are not valid.
The form shall provide for the entering of “The date and place the license is issued, and the signature of the county clerk or deputy clerk issuing the license.” KRS 402.100(1)(c)
KRS 402.110 Marriage license to be uniform and completely filled out. - The form of marriage license prescribed in KRS 402.100 shall be uniform throughout this state, and every license blank shall contain the identical words and figures provided in the form prescribed by that section.
“Rowan County” is not the name of the Rowan County County Clerk. Listing “Rowan County” as the name of the County Clerk is a violation KRS 402.100(1)(c), 402.110. Yet somehow hizzoner saw no problem with these licenses.
