Ky. clerk's office will issue marriage licenses Friday — without the clerk

[Warren Stupidity]

ASHLAND, Ky. — Five of six deputies in the office of a Kentucky county clerk taken into custody Thursday for her refusal to issue marriage licenses after the Supreme Court allowed gays to wed say they will process the paperwork starting Friday.

But Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, whom U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning found in contempt of court, said through her lawyers that she will not authorize any of her employees to issue licenses in her absence. The judge placed her in the custody of U.S. marshals and had her taken to Carter County jail.

"My conscience will not allow it," Davis said earlier to Bunning. "God's moral law convicts me and conflicts with my duties."

Among her deputies, the holdout was Davis' son, Nathan Davis. Yet the other deputy clerks had reservations as they individually answered Bunning's questions, some based on religion, like Kim Davis, and others who wondered about their legal authority to sign forms without an elected official's consent.

This religious bigot thinks she can continue to run this office from jail.

Priests raping children? Meh.
An institution teaching that non-straight / non-cis people are "disordered" and sinful? Oh well, whaddya gonna do.
A global organization seeking to deny reproductive choices to ALL women, not just those in the org? Pshaw.
A bunch of old men perpetuating the lie that demons can possess people and need to be driven out? Aw shucks.

9. Has nothing to do with her religion, no matter how much she says it does.

There's nothing homophobic in the bible at all.

And you never hear Christian leaders preaching hatred for lgbt people.

Ever.
