My guess about Judge Bunning’s game plan is to have the plantiffs show up in Rowan County to get their marriage licenses from the clerks who will give them one and once that’s out of the way, he will release Kim Davis from the pokey.
Heck, Bunning may have talked to the plantiff’s lawyers ahead of yesterday’s hearing, but I’m sure something calculating was going on in his head.
Let's assume your hypothesis is correct.
Bunning releases Kim Davis from Jail.
Kim Davis once again orders her deputy clerks to not issue marriage licenses -- to anyone.
Then what?
At some point, a higher legal authority than this morally corrupt judge Bunning has to come along and realize that Bunning is violating Davis' civil rights and is in fact in violation of the Civil Right's act of 1964 which states:
“Failure to accommodate the religious beliefs of employees, when this can be done without undue hardship, violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion.”
Finally ....
Martin Luther King Jr. once said: “An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law”
I stand with Kim Davis.
