Check out the unbelievably complicated marital history of Kim Davis, Christian Hypocrite:

[pnwmom]

This is the Kentucky county clerk/attention-seeker who claims it's her Christian duty not to marry same-sex couples.

Dan Savage, in the second paragraph, seems to have gotten one detail wrong: she got knocked up by her 3rd husband a few months BEFORE she divorced her first husband, not after -- but otherwise, he does an excellent job conveying the craziness of this woman's life.

The Kentucky county clerk facing potentially stiff penalties for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses has been married four times, raising questions of hypocrisy and selective application of the Bible to her life. The marriages are documented in court records obtained by U.S. News, which show that Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis divorced three times, first in 1994, then 2006 and again in 2008. She gave birth to twins five months after divorcing her first husband. They were fathered by her third husband but adopted by her second. Davis worked at the clerk's office at the time of each divorce and has since remarried.

Um... wait: Kim Davis got knocked up by her third husband shortly after divorcing her first husband and somehow managed to talk her second husband into adopting the kids she had by the man who eventually become her third husband... and she's now on her fourth husband? Jesus, the Hapsburg family tree is less complicated. But, hey, it all sounds perfectly biblical... or it would if we were talking about the Book of Mormon, it was 1890s, Kim Davis was a bearded man, and if Davis hadn't divorced husbands number one, two, and three before marrying husband number four.

1. Oh come on. She became a Christian after her 4th marriage

How convenient.

[lpbk2713]

2. It's like trying to follow Abbott & Costello's "Who's on First"

She could have her own act.

3. DUZY !! :) n/t

[rusty quoin]

4. Judgement only comes to those who don't embrace Jesus.

I like the guy and accidentally follow his teachings more than most evangelicals, but unless you embrace Him publicly, you are going to hell. That's what they think. I don't believe in hell, and yet I try to be good.

[Wilms]

5. "...accidentally follow his teachings..."

I love that!



Too bad you're going to hell, never the less.

[PJMcK]

13. There is no hell

That place is just God's man-cave where he goes to get drunk.

[TheBlackAdder]

6. If that's true, she performed adultry with her third husband, while still married to the first one!

"She gave birth to twins five months after divorcing her first husband. They were fathered by her third husband but adopted by her second. Davis worked at the clerk's office at the time of each divorce and has since remarried."


She wasn't "knocked up by her third husband shortly after divorcing her first husband," she was knocked up before divorcing her first husband.

[pnwmom]

7. Yup. And somehow convinced husband #2 to marry her and adopt #3's twins.

But she divorced #1, 2, and 3, and is now married to #4.

And now she's refusing to marry same-sex couples on the grounds that the marriages aren't biblical.

[JustAnotherGen]

8. She's a hypocrite then

This tells me who she REALLY is and what she REALLY believes . . .

That it's just a piece of paper.

True story - my dad was moved to Fort Knox just a few months after the Loving vs VA case. My mom of course went with him.

It was NOT just a piece of paper to them (a till death do they part marriage) and it isn't for the couples trying to tie the knot that are the same sex in Kentucky.

I hope she fets thrown in jail for breaking the law. And if there aren't laws that get one thrown in jail for denying others their Civil Liberties or Rights - maybe there needs to be.

Maybe that's the next big challenge? Making those who deny criminally responsible for their bigotry?

[pnwmom]

9. From what I understand, the judge has the option to either fine her or put her in jail

till she agrees to resign or comply, but the lawyers for the same-sex couples asked for fines.

Too bad, because now I hear that RWers have offered to pay any fines she's assessed.

[JustAnotherGen]

15. The Lawyers need to change direction

How dare she look down her nose at other Americans who will most likely get married and stay married.

Maybe she's taking out her multiple divorce issues on them?


Pssst - DU - I apologize but I really needed to have a 'mean girl' moment DU!

[Generic Other]

23. She should be fined double any monies collected

And if she wants to be a martyr, she needs to BYOC.

[pinboy3niner]

10. As entertaining as it is, it's irrelevant

The only issue is that she is a public servant who is acting unlawfully.

[uponit7771]

11. The hypocrisy points toward intent, meaning she really doesn't give a shit about the religious...

... aspects of this, she like many GOPrs, just want to control peoples lives.

IE she shouldn't get a religious exemption just fines out the ass for not following the judges orders

[pinboy3niner]

12. Intent doesn't matter

Either she's performing her duties or she isn't.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. Sorry Pinboy, But I Think It Does

I believe the judge ruling on this matter will see this as relevant, in that she is using religious freedom excuse but doesn't have the real belief she claims to have.

As a result, her unlawful behavior has no standing to the judge. She doesn't walk the walk, and i think that will matter to the judge.

[JustAnotherGen]

16. I'm in agreement

This needed to come out.

She's not the goody goody two shoes she pretends to be.

[pinboy3niner]

17. We can disagree, no problem

She may raise intent in her defense, but I think the only question for the court is whether or not she's following the law.

[pnwmom]

19. The Court has a choice to make -- whether to throw her into jail

or fine her. For some reason the same-sex couples' brief asks for fines.

I think her intent might be a consideration in this situation.

[pinboy3niner]

20. I don't think intent is relevant here, but that's up to the court

Some don't want to see her jailed for fear of making her a martyr (as if she isn't already) and stirring up the crazies.

[pnwmom]

21. If they just fine her, I don't see how that will help since the RWers have already pledged to pay her fines.

And it's hard to imagine them impeaching her, against the "will of the people."

So this will probably be a long, drawn-out battle.

[pinboy3niner]

24. We place our faith n the court

We want resolution, and we have a system that delivers that.

I came to appreciate that when I worked for a time at NTSB.

[Bluenorthwest]

18. This is not exactly a surprise. Basically, raving anti gay religious persons are always raving as

part of the cover up of their own errors or crimes. The more strident the anti gay rage, the more horrific the crimes being committed. It is and has always been thus.

[Vinca]

22. Not to worry. Her attorney explained it away this morning.

According to him, the oft-wedded Kim made "mistakes" in her past, BUT - and this is the important part - she has now "given herself to Christ." Translation: it's all good, nothing to see here.

[mnhtnbb]

25. I suspect the only way to get marriage licenses issued again in the County

is for the Judge to send this woman to jail and authorize one of
her deputies who will agree to issue licenses--according to the law--
to resume issuing licenses to all couples who present with the
completed application.

That's why the ACLU has asked only for fines. They want to leave room for
the Judge to settle the problem. He can fine her up the wazoo, but if she
just pays the fines and refuses to issue licenses, nothing is gained. If he
sends her to the slammer to cool her heels until she agrees to issue licenses
or resign, well, then the civil system can be used for damaged couples to
sue her ass.

For my money, let her rot in jail. Let her be an example. The media will soon move
on to other issues.
