Kim Davis files case asking people to stop suing her

Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis has launched a legal case to stop her from being personally sued for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses while in office.

Davis, who was put in prison for five days for refusing to issue the licenses, is attempting to field all legal cases against her, with the defence that they should be filed against the state.
Represented by The Liberty Counsel, which is an Evangelical Christian advocacy group, Davis has filed briefs in the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals asking for the dismissal of two complaints that were filed against her because of what she did on behalf of the county and state.

She should have been sacked a long time ago. If she can't perform all the duties of her job, she shouldn't be in it.

Just another disgusting christian, right-wing hypocrite.

Kentucky Clerk Opposed to Gay Marriage to Run for 2018 Re-Election
by Reuters / Nov.09.2017 / 9:21 AM ET / Source: Reuters

Less than a month after she was released from jail, Davis, who won election to the office in 2014 as a Democrat, changed her affiliation to the Republican Party.

Rowan County Democratic party officials could not be reached for comment.

Prior to her election, Davis served as a deputy to her mother, Jean Bailey, who served as the county clerk for nearly four decades.
