Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis Found in Contempt of Court - Jail

Wake up from nap, catch up on thread, read assertion that Sharia law is liberal, get headache, lay back down.

If nothing else this is helping me understand what must be going through Kim Davis's mind with the Orwellian propaganda she's ingesting. Up is down, day is night, bad is good and Jesus is hate.

It all makes sense now. Fox news is Bizarro reality.

Nuts isn't it? And I thought the whole "Ladies from the Left" caller being legitimized by some kind of software was insane...

It's la la land in conservative-ville.

WATCH: Bill Maher to Kim Davis: 'You Are Sharia Law'

Some right-wing activists think the U.S. is in danger of having Muslim religious law imposed — but a Christian version of that is just what Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis and her supporters are seeking, says Bill Maher.

“If you say, as Kim Davis and her ilk and Ted Cruz and these people say, that actually, ‘I can ignore the rule of man because the rulebook of God said,’ then you are Iran. Then you are Saudi Arabia. Then you are Sharia law,”

Maher said Friday night during a panel discussion on his Real Time With Bill Maher show on HBO. www.advocate.com...

edit on 12-9-2015 by Annee because: (no reason given)

Kim Davis is not in compliance with the teachings of her own religion; the Bible states that Christians should honor the laws and obey the magistrates and the secular powers that "God" has put in place.

The "protection" of religion in the First Amendment doesn't extend to "whatever I say I believe" when that "whatever" contravenes the equitable laws of the land.

When her 15 minutes are over, Kim Davis will discover the price of fleeting fame.

She's already been jailed and released.

What will they do next?

What precedents will be set?

a reply to: marg6043

Nah. They're like toddlers throwing a tantrum after being told they can't have all the cookies. Or after watching their new-born baby sibling get all sorts of cooing and coddling attention.

It's quite funny, in a sad, sad way. Except that some toddlers actually HURT their baby siblings, out of jealousy and unbridled SPITE.

I have to look at this whole circus from an 'outsider' perspective. No wonder the rest of the Western World thinks Americans are insane. And the Right-Wing anti-gay refuseniks just keep raising their bar of total inanity.

The United States of Embarrica.
sigh

Kim Davis was jailed for contempt of court.

Kim Davis was released when the Court's order was complied with, thus, removing the condition on contempt.

Who is the "they" you refer to in your comment?

I assume its the same anonymous group that paranoid fear-mongering generally alleges, but I'd be glad to hear what you have to say.

The only precedent set here is that the rule of law is not subject to personal beliefs masquerading as religion.

Kim Davis Seeks Right to Refuse to Issue Marriage Licenses to Gay Couples Until Case Is Settled

Kim Davis... filed a motion Friday asking an appeals court to allow her to refuse to issue licenses when she returns to work Monday, until her case is settled.

In the motion filed with the Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, the Rowan County clerk's attorneys urged that her entire office be allowed to abstain from issuing marriage licenses pending the court's decision on the case.
...
A gay rights group, Planting Peace, has erected a billboard in Davis' hometown of Morehead, saying: "Dear Kim Davis, The fact that you can't sell your daughter for three goats and a cow means we've already redefined marriage."

a reply to: Gryphon66

What will "They" do when she still refuses to issue licenses?

You know she will be making a stink Monday.

a reply to: Benevolent Heretic

She should go back to jail for Contempt again.

Some folks just don't get it.

Essentially, she is desperately extending any relevance she has to the national conversation.

The sad thing, to me, is that the folks using Kim Davis will drop her back into her very ordinary life very soon.

And that will be hard to bear.

Who is "they"?

The lamestream media? The gay-atheist-socialist-progressive fascists? The illuminati?

I can't possibly answer your query without knowing to whom you are referring.

a reply to: Benevolent Heretic

Oh for Christ's sake: WHAT DOES SHE NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT "NO"???

I used to ask my little boy, when he kept nagging me for a quarter after I'd already said "no" - "Did I say 'ask me again and I'll change my mind'?"

After a few dozen of those episodes, it became a joke. We'd walk into the grocers where the silly kid-machines were there (the kind with the grappling hooks that hover over the stuffed animals like fishing hooks), and he'd say, "Mom, can I have a quarter?" And I'd just look at him, and he'd laugh.

Took a few years though.

a reply to: BuzzyWigs

The real similarity would be if your son had a host of lawyers whispering in his ear that he had a right to that quarter and that you were unjustly discriminating against him by not giving it to him, and filing repeated motions in any court that would listen to that effect.

I guess the question really comes down to: Is Kim Davis smarter than a Fifth Grader Five-Year-Old?

Survey says: [X] [X] [X]

ETA: I am corrected by the source.

a reply to: Gryphon66

Who knows what whispers he heard in his head?? It's no different, really - these adult jerks are saying exactly that:
God is whispering in my ear that I'm entitled to behave like this until I get a different answer.

And he was no more than about 5 years old when he figured it out. Nowhere near 5th grade. He wasn't a slow learner.



EDIT: Thanks, gryph, for correcting your post and not spreading slanderous lies about my son's cognitive abilities.
LOL!!

"Martin Luther King went to jail because he didn't follow the law," Santorum said last week in a radio interview. "There's a long precedent in America from people saying, 'You know the law has to change to accommodate what is the right thing to do.'"

www.christianpost.com...

and that's what we did, we changed the laws to do what we saw as right....
and now, just like every other time when we tried to change things to what is right, we have the conservatives griping about their religion and their rights. should we go backwards? how far back? segregation? women having the right to say no in the bedroom (god, I think that one came even after segregation even), interracial marriage, divorce, slavery, higher education for women, the man's right to beat his wife? Hey, I know, let's make this as easy as possible and just go back to when the King was given absolute power by God and whatever lame brained words came out of his mouth was the law of the land for you to obey. Ya know, when you could be run out of her house to make room for his armies. and such.

like the billlboard points out, marriage has been redefined so many times in history, to claim that it's being done now is kind of, I don't know, insane....
birth control was legal and women could have a say in her family size, then it was not legal, and then well, women fought to get it back.
divorce was illegal, then legal, then probably illegal again, heck it was a king's desire to remarry, that brought the conflicts between the catholics and protestants.
women were sexually, and financially subservient to their husbands, not allowed to own much of anything, but now we can! and we have control over the wages we earn, and we don't need our husbands permission to earn them!

and, through most of these changes, there was a section of the population who were opposed, citing "morality" as the reason!

Santorum is comparing "My God Rules" whether you believe or not ---- to Equal Civil Rights for all?

Yeah, NO Santorum, it is not the same.

Seems Kim is still trying to toss a wrench in the works in order to disobey the court's orders. When she went back to work last Monday, she replaced the marriage licenses with one that doesn't even have the county name or any reference to the clerk or deputy clerk of the county, and ordered her deputy clerks to use ONLY those forms.

One of the deputies, Brian Mason, is concerned about their validity.

Kim Davis May Have Invalidated Marriage License Forms, Deputy Clerk Says

Davis may have gone further than that, the lawyer for deputy Rowan County court clerk Brian Mason said in an update report Friday to a federal judge.

Davis replaced the old marriage license forms with forms that don't carry her name, the name of the county or any reference to a clerk or deputy clerk, said Mason's lawyer, Richard Hughes.
...
The same-sex couple that sued Davis for not issuing a marriage license said, in a separate court filing, that Davis is "requiring her clerk to issue licenses in his capacity as a 'notary public' rather than a deputy clerk. ..."

I don't think this is over. But Davis' lawyer says there's nothing to see here... Move along...

Clerk May Have Interfered with Order

State law requires marriage licenses to be issued under the authority of the county clerk.

But Davis has removed all mention of county clerk or deputy clerk... She's messing with Kentucky and the citizens. And she's getting an award for it.

Kim Davis to be Honored with the "Cost of Discipleship" award. You know... she's suffered so much from being a disciple...

Kim Davis, the clerk of Rowan County Kentucky, who recently spent time in jail for refusing to follow a court order, and who continued to defy that order upon her release, will soon be granted an award, stage time, and honors for her actions. The conservative lobbying group, the Family Research Council (yes, the same group that recently parted ways with family values speaker Josh Duggar) will be treating Davis as an honored guest at the upcoming Values Voter Summit.

Ugh!

Taking it back for which God? Does she want them to take it back?

And I wonder: how much is Huckabee paying her?
