Infamous Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis Violates Judge's Order, Could Soon Return to Jail

[joeybee12]

Welcome back to the news, Kentucky. However, before we sift through the continued misadventures of one of America's most (in)famous homophobes, let us consider the glorious silver lining tucked neatly underneath this latest development: Semi-professional bass guitarist Mike Huckabee might be going to jail.

When Kim Davis was released from jail earlier this month, to the obvious delight of the entire cast of the forthcoming Beverly Hillbillies reboot (?), U.S. District Judge David Bunning ordered her not to interfere with the issuance of licenses by her fellow employees unless she wanted to return to the comforts of a cell. In a laughably predictable plot twist, Davis has apparently defied that order with obvious intent. According to the Associated Press, an attorney representing Rowan County deputy clerk Brian Mason claims that Davis "confiscated all the original forms" before replacing them with forms that omit her name, the county's name, and any additional references to other clerks:

"It also appears to this counsel those changes were made in some attempt to circumvent the court's orders and may have raised to the level of interference against the court's orders," attorney Richard Hughes wrote. "Mr. Mason is concerned because he is in a difficult position that he continues to issue the licenses per the court's order ... which had some remote questionable validity, but now with these changes may in fact have some substantial questions about validity."
Lest we forget (we most certainly haven't!), Huckabee recently volunteered his presence should Davis be required to return to jail. Speaking with reporters on the day of Davis' initial release, Huckabee made some predictably inane comparison between being the president (never going to happen, Huck) and going to jail because of some mysterious war on religion:

"Lock me up if you think that's how freedom is best served, because folks, I am willing to spend the next eight years in the White House leading this country but I want you to know, I'm willing to spend the next eight years in jail, but I'm not willing to spend one day under the tyranny of people who believe they can take our freedom and conscience away."

3. To be fair.

1. Nobody is paying too much attention to her now. She needs to fix that.
2. She knows true believers are prosecuted. She is a true believer, she must continue to be prosecuted to prove herself to herself.
3. Her staff publicly mocked her during her state sponsored vacation. They have to be brought back in line. As pointed out by her temporarily liberated staff, she holds a fifth degree black belt in petty behavior. She used her mad skills to brow beat her staff back into submission.
4. She knows that she faces no real danger. Her family is safe. Her future is safe. She knows she is hated at work, the staff is in a constant state of near rebellion. She cannot be happy there. She was happy when she saw the rally upon her release for less than a week in a very clean jail. She isn't concerned about her job as much as she is in seemed consequential.
5. She is incapable of understanding the degree she is being used. By both sides. She truely is a pitiful person drunk on her 15 minutes of fame.

5. Haul her worthless ass back to the slammer.

And isn't all this crap enough to get someone tossed from a job?

The rest of us would never get away with such corruption.

8. She "confiscated" all the forms?

My first post here. Greetings my Southern brothers and sisters. Long, long time lurker.

This woman is a perfect example of the damage the Republicans have done to your country. When they decided to court the crazy, religious fanatic vote -- they made heroes (with plenty of backup) of people who have disgusting ideas about how things ought to be. They are ignorant. They are steadfast. They are stubborn. They are unwilling to arm themselves with facts, mostly because they don't have to. When they get something horribly wrong, there is an army of idiots clapping like seals, telling them they are right and should stay the course. It is horrifying to watch, even from across the border.

Nixon began it. Reagan perfected it. And by now the inmates (who were only pandered to for their vote) think they should be running the asylum.

I'm an atheist, but god help you people! With what you are up against, I don't know how you can stop it. Whether it is the gun issue everyone is too scared to deal with, or people like this awful puppet simpleton Kim Davis - nothing seems to get fixed. Everyone is just allowed to progressively make things worse and nobody stops them. Who could? Will Ted Cruz fix the country? Maybe Donald Trump?

God help you fine folks!

Start by convincing people to elect someone like Sanders. He's not fake. He can and wants to help you. But I think most of you know that already. I'd help, but hey, I've got a right wing anarchist of my own to deal with up here! Our election is very soon, and although Stephen Harper is no Donald Trump he has done a fair bit of damage to this country I love. He needs to go. But sadly we have our ignorant, hayseed, uninformed population as well. Frank Luntz himself taught Harper how to exploit them, and now some of the same language and tactics used by the likes of Karl Rove have arrived here. I hope we don't let it get as bad as it has gotten down there! Let's wish each other luck, and keep fighting.

10. Look at meee!

11. She shouldn't have been let out to begin with.

Now she needs to go back, and the Kentucky legislature needs to fire her ass so she can't interfere any more, and can't collect that $80K yearly salary and perks.

This woman seems to think she was elected to be god over the office, when all she was supposed to do was see the laws were carried out, like them or not.
