Get ready for Monday...looks like Davis will try and stop her clerks from issuing licenses

[joeybee12]

MOREHEAD, Ky., Sept 12 (Reuters) - The county clerk from Kentucky who was jailed after refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples has asked an appeals court to let her continue her stand until a lawsuit against her is decided.

Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, due back at work Monday after six days behind bars, has said her beliefs as an Apostolic Christian prevent her from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples and her attorneys have said the 49-year-old woman will not violate her conscience when she returns to work.

In her absence, deputy clerks have been issuing licenses and have said they would continue to do so.

Davis was jailed when she refused to comply with U.S. District Judge David Bunning's order to issue licenses. He ordered her released when the deputy clerks began issuing the licenses.

In a Friday motion filed with the Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, Davis' attorneys asked that she be allowed to continue banning marriage licenses for her entire office until the case is settled.

I hope she tries and stops a clerk, the clerk refuses, she tries to discipline him/her...a wrongful termination suit against her might finally get the county and/or state legislature to start the process of getting her out.

1. Probably he'd avoid doing anything, but...

...I'd like to see Obama send Feds in there and give out the licenses under her nose.

2. When this is over she ought to get a bill.

For services not rendered. She owes the public some money.

She expects to continue on in her position and not do what is expected of her.

[closeupready]

3. She's going to deliver someone a jackpot

courtesy of taxpayers of Rowan County or the State of Kentucky, if she continues with her irresponsible ways.

4. Screw her.

Suspend her without pay for insubordination and toss her back in the can if necessary.

Why are they being so "delicate" with this fool?

[tammywammy]

6. She's an elected official, you can't just suspend her or fire her. n/t

[Lancero]

7. She could still be tossed back in the can though.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Didn't the judge say that if she broke her word to not interfere, that she would go back to jail?

I believe he did.

She'll be back behind bars if she is that foolish.

[longship]

8. That is my understanding of the situation.

Federal judges tend not to like it when their orders are ignored. Especially twice.

And the theocratic GOP seem to not understand the US Constitution. Especially Hucklebuck.

13. The thing I'm worried about are those Oaf Keepers down there.

Sounds like it'll be a standoff between the Federal Marshals and them.

15. Well, much ado about nothing.

So said Shakespeare as well.

I think Kim will find herself in jail again before the week's out. Judge Bunning is not going to suffer her defiance again.

[herding cats]

14. If this come to fruition, I suspect that the purpose.

They're not done with her yet, and they're afraid this could sink in the media eye and be forgotten. Thus this this new ploy.

She's tool and she's not worn out yet. They won't be done with her until she is of no further use to them, is my thoughts.

[Jason Huh]

18. She is that foolish

And she will, indeed, be back in jail.

[Liberal_in_LA]

9. I hope she gets arrested again

[warrprayer]

11. the "Oath Keepers"

Are vowing to prevent her re arrest, if what I am reading elsewhere is true.
This could turn into a nasty situation.
Why can't some people just live and let live?

[gratuitous]

12. Why can't they live and let live?

Because pushing a conflict to the brink of armed insurrection worked so well in the Cliven Bundy episode. Law enforcement backed down, Bundy remained free, a bunch of pin-dicked bugfuckers got to parade around with their weapons, and sight down on federal officials. All without any repercussions.

If the Oathkeepers push the confrontation to the point of insurrection, they have every reason to believe that the feds will back down again, they'll all get to posture with their guns and rifles, strut like peacocks, bully people who disagree with them, and maybe sight down on a few more federal law enforcement officers. No downside, and they get their way again.

[Takket]

16. They won't get away with it this time

It wasn't worth it to the Feds to start a war over some lazy moocher stealing grass. But I don't think law enforcement will be so generous if they try to interfere with the constitutional operation of a county clerks office. Now we are getting darned close to anarchy and the total loss of the rule of law.

You are very much correct though that the bundy situation has emboldened these fools into thinking they can get away with this shit. They should have went back in with greater numbers and thrown that scumbag in prison along with anyone threatening them with a weapon.

[gratuitous]

17. I'd like to believe you're right

But you know there will be those advising President Obama that Mrs. Davis' dereliction of duty is no more serious than Cliven Bundy's unbroken string of lawlessness. The argument will be, "Do we really want to get shooting over such a minor issue? How will this play across the country, federal agents shooting citizens?"

I don't want anyone getting shot, but it's difficult for me to imagine a scenario where nobody shoots, Davis complies with the judge's order or goes to jail again, and the itchy trigger-finger brigade goes home unrequited.

[Archae]

22. Davis doesn't want the Oaf Keepers.

Well, some good news.

19. Is there another gay couple in Rowan County planning on testing her Monday?

[hobbit709]

20. Slow learner.

I think a lot more jail time and sanctions for her lawyer are due.

[Vinca]

21. Jail just makes her more of a hero to the nuts.

Start fining her and double the fine every day. Sure her supporters will foot the bill, but they wouldn't be real happy if the proceeds went to a gay cause.
