Kim Davis, the former county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses in Kentucky to same-sex couples, must pay a total of $260,104 in fees and expenses to attorneys who represented one couple, according to a federal judge’s ruling.
That is in addition to $100,000 in damages a jury said the former Rowan county clerk should pay the couple who sued.
…
Davis drew international attention when she was briefly jailed in 2015 over her refusal despite the US supreme court’s legalization of same-sex marriage. She based her refusal on her belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.
Glad she’s finding out, but she can probs fundraise her way out of that in a few hours via the right-wing griftiverse. There’s no amount of money that hate-filled right wing grannies won’t give to assholes that they think will stick it to the libs.
Man I’d love to have a way to get the right-wingers to just give me money without compromising my morals.
There’s way too many people who don’t share your moral fortitude. The reason why moral people don’t do it, though, is because it amplifies and confirms these assholes’ fears and prejudices.
i was thinking the fundraiser could put her well into the profit zone
Absolutely agree
Congrats, you have reinvented the guiding premise of today’s republican party
