This frivolous action is intended to allow her to go back to work next week and refuse to issue licenses until her ridiculous appeal is considered.
The judge needs to send her directly back to jail and Rule 11 sanctions need to be brought against her lawyers.
These fucking assholes are wasting valuable and scarce court resources fighting what they know beyond any doubt to be a losing battle, all in the service of self-aggrandizement.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Kentucky county clerk who was recently jailed for denying same-sex couples marriage licenses filed an appeal Friday that asks for another delay in issuing the licenses.
Attorneys for Kim Davis, who objects to gay marriage on religious grounds, argued in their motion to the Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals that all the same-sex couples who sued Davis for a license received one from her deputies while she was in jail. Therefore, they said, her office should not be required to issue them to any more couples once she returns to work.
U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning wrote that his mandate to issue licenses applied to all couples, not only those who filed suit. But Davis’ lawyers allege that order was issued improperly, and again have asked for a delay.
“I hate to use a religious metaphor, given the circumstances,” said Sam Marcosson, a constitutional law professor at the University of Louisville, “but this strikes me as a Hail Mary pass.”
