http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/kim_davis_files_new_motion_claiming_she_is_facing_immediate_and_substantial_harm_and_consequencesBut she also is suing the Governor of Kentucky after he met not with Kim Davis, but with another county clerk, Casey Davis, who is also refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, claiming to do so would be a violation of his religious liberty.
Casey Davis met with Governor Steve Beshear on July 9 for an hour to discuss the issue. The governor refused to call a special session of the legislature and refused to make any changes. Gov. Beshear told Casey Davis he could do his job or resign.
Kim Davis took that "order" note, the governor has no power over county clerks, as they are elected officials and sued the governor, claiming his order was a violation of her First Amendment rights.

REALLY waiting for a court to tell her and more particularly her attorney to GET WITH THE PROGRAM, that is, the U.S. CONSTITUTION!!!

(626 posts)So, they are going to keep KD from being arrested for NOT keeping her Oath of Office? No Irony there, no.......
Additionally, is it not the definition of Treason to threaten officers of the court with armed resistance to the OOC carrying out their lawful duties?
And all this time I thought the CONservatives were "Law and Order" types......
