There is absolutely no good-faith argument for this appeal. Davis and her counsel 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.

This time throw her lawyers in jail with her.

Also, childishly, the motion continues to use scare quotes around the word “marriage” when referencing same-sex marriage.

Is she special needs? I ask because I don’t want to call a special needs person a fucking idiot. Where is her caretaker?

Maybe her lawyers should argue that all marriage license applicants have to go to church. No Constitutional problem with that, is there?

Let me get this straight, she’s asking the 6th circuit to overturn the supreme court?? I’m no legal scholar, but doesn’t this generally work the other way round.

I think we all know where this is going and is PRECISELY intended so that next week when Davis goes back to work, she’ll say her office isn’t going to issue any licenses until her latest frivolous appeal is considered. Mark my words.
Meanwhile, I’m beginning to think maybe it might be time to bring Section 11 sanctions against her attorneys… And Davis needs to be hauled off to jail, this time for much, much longer.

And why wouldn’t an appeals court stop all marriage licenses from being issued? American jurisprudence exists only to serve Kim Davis.
You can look it up!

That photo (with her arms raised and her facial expression showing her love of her new status) demonstrates everything that is wrong with the Christian, right-wing “soldiers.” They have a pathetic, sad, desperate need to be famous for something - and self-righteousness is all they’ve got.

I never thought she should have been released. It was obvious that this was going to happen.

Feel free. Unless having a modicum of common sense is a requirement, she could pass a competency hearing with flying colors.

You know, I’m being to understand why the Romans thought throwing these people to the lions was a good idea…

I get the feeling her lawyers are just pulling these out of their asses, and she is stupid enough to sign her name to these. Wondering if she doesn’t need to be held in contempt so much as judged a danger to herself and others? Same net result, but very different routes.

I feel the same way, Brooklyndweller. However, one benefit to Judge Bunning’s almost heroic levels of patience with this insufferable bigot and her legal counsel is whatever sanctions he does choose to take, there is zero chance they won’t be upheld on appeal.

Maybe they thought it was the only way to get them to shut the fuck up once and for all.

I thought conservatives were against frivolous lawsuits.
Weird.
