StrangeSox Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Liberty Counsel are a bunch of fundamentalist assholes that are just using this woman as a tool to further their cause/fundraising.

Jenksismyhero Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 10:11 AM) I mean as Huckabee is saying it, because there isn't a law saying that I can adopt a cat from a shelter, I can't adopt a cat from a shelter. I think that is 100% backwards. Playing devils advocate, that's not really the same. The clerk has delegated duties by law to fulfill in her role as clerk of the county. It's the lack of instruction, basically, from the law that he's pointing towards. You as a person aren't filling a position created by law to adopt cats with various instructions on what you're supposed to do in that position.

StrangeSox Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 There's not lack of instruction. The parts of the law that restrict marriage to opposite sex couples have been made invalid. The rest of the Kentucky marriage law stands, so Davis must issue marriage licenses to whoever meets the states's qualifications. When Loving v. Virginia came down, would it have been any less dumb to say "but the legislature didn't pass a law giving me authority to recognize mixed-race marriages!"?

She's saying that to clear her conscience, but I can't imagine somebody will actually file a suit challenging the legality of the issued licenses.

Of course someone will do that. It's a valid question - if the office signs the licenses but without Davis' name on them, are they still valid? Sucks that we have to even figure this out, but that appears to be where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a technical standpoint, they probably are illegal. It will be interesting to see because of the Supreme Court ruling, if they are upheld or not.

StrangeSox Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Davis's lawyers have filed suit in the sixth circuit over a variety of issues. The one that stands out to me is that they're attempting to limit Judge Bunning's ruling to only the couples that specifically sued, not all couples. http://balkin.blogspot.com/2015/09/kim-dav...velopments.html She's also instructing her deputies to further alter the forms: Now that her name has been removed, however, it turns out that the solution Davis earlier proposed does not suffice from her perspective. In her statement this morning, Davis said that she has ordered that the licenses issued by the Deputies in Rowan County may not include her name or title or "authority" [it's not clear what that means, since the form doesn't mention her "authority" in the first place], and that such licenses will bear the notation "Issued pursuant to a federal court order."
