Friday 9/11 - Kim Davis Ask Appeals Court To Halt Marriages In Her County

Nuts, nuts, nuts! WTF!

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/kim-davis-expanded-order

Kim Davis -- the Kentucky clerk who stopped issuing all marriage licenses after the Supreme Court gay marriage ruling -- is taking another stab at stopping same-sex marriages in her county.

Her lawyers filed a petition Friday with the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals asking the court to halt an order by a district judge requiring that marriage licenses be issued to all couples seeking them, Buzzfeed reported.

Somebody's going back to jail...

Just wait. Whenever she decides to go back to not work and not do her job, a certain federal judge will summon her for his rath.

Well, Kim, you have a simple choice here. Issue licenses, or back in jail.

4. And, he could also put her on trial for criminal charges, and mandatory jail for 6 months

for starters. She has basically told SCOTUS, the Federal gov, and a Federal Judge to fuck off. That, does not go over too well after awhile. She well might have her fans, but the weight of the Federal gov. on ones shoulders is pretty heavy indeed.

She might have her eyes on a higher goal.

Sounds like she wants to keep her name in the headlines as long as possible.

opportunities for those working this episode and Kim Davis is a useful stooge. In the big picture, she is going to be the big loser, but she can't comprehend the big picture IMO.

She just keeps doubling down no matter how wrong she is. I have never seen such a display of ignorance, arrogance and self-righteousness combined into one single person.
