Discussion: Kim Davis' Lawyers To File New Lawsuit Against Kentucky Governor

Discussion for article #240466

I’d like to know who is funding Mrs Davis’s legal fees. Lawyers don’t come cheap. Even the stupid ones collect fees.

I hope the judge considers this meddling with his decision.

Kim Davis has “grave doubts” about the validity of the licenses issued while she was in jail and those without her name, - that would be the world’s preeminent legal scholar Kim Davis AKA ‘dumb as a stump’ Kim Davis?

While I understand why he did it, THIS is what happens when a judge tries to be lenient with a nutjob. She has now been given the functional equivalent of an unlawful religious exemption and the gas can and matches with which to burn the freekin county clerk’s office and the system of laws down around her. Make no mistake: This is, so far, a HUGE loss for us and a MASSIVE win for her and her kind. She should be in jail until she agrees to follow the law and perform her legally binding duties as county clerk. There is no arguing otherwise. we’ve seen this multiple times before in our history and the legal precedent is abundantly clear: she must do her legal duty or suffer for her refusal. Enough is enough.

And this fucking lawsuit against the governor is yet another frivolous joke for which the lawyers should face sanctions and disbarment. There is simply no colorable, facially meritorious claim whatsoever that this religious fucking twit should receive an “accommodation” or any sort of exemption or leniency at all.

JAIL KIM DAVIS. NOW!

Her lawyers been in the Monkey House for too long.“I have this refrain about the monkey house at the zoo. When you first enter into the monkey house at the zoo, you think, ‘Oh my G-d this place stinks!’ And then after you’re there for 20 minutes you think, ‘it’s not so bad’ and after you’re there for an hour it doesn’t smell at all. And anyone entering the monkey house freshly thinks, ‘this stinks!’ you’ve been living in the monkey house.” (quote found on the blog of Bottles of Joules)

More to the point: the judge ordered her not to interfere. She now removed the names and authorization and subsequently claimed that their removal creates doubt about the validity of the licenses. THAT IS AN ADMISSION THAT SHE IS “INTERFERING.” Back to jail with the silly bigot!!!

And calling the licenses into question she is adding ‘pain and suffering’ to the plaintiffs in the civil suit.

What? Don’t you think there will be a civil lawsuit against her?

She should resign simply for her failure to:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm, as the case may be) that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this Commonwealth, and be faithful and true to the Commonwealth of Kentucky so long as I continue a citizen thereof, and that I will faithfully execute, to the best of my ability, the office of 
 according to law; and I do further solemnly swear (or affirm) that since the adoption of the present Constitution, I, being a citizen of this State, have not fought a duel with deadly weapons within this State nor out of it, nor have I sent or accepted a challenge to fight a duel with deadly weapons, nor have I acted as second in carrying a challenge, nor aided or assisted any person thus offending, so help me God.”

How about a new group of couples who have been issued these “doubtful” marriage licenses file a complaint? Can you imagine having to wonder if your children will be born bastards and your right to be at your SO’s side in the hospital challenged by the in-laws who’ve always hated you? These folks have a right to collect an unequivocally legal marriage license from the county office and not be held to the whims and threats of this idiot.

She may want to consider maybe not doing that, for her sake. The more of an additional pain she becomes, the more people will watch and the quicker she’ll end up behind bars.

Yes, let’s test these things in court. If there’s something that makes them invalid without the country clerk’s signature, let’s see how quickly she loses at Courtroom Chicken.

Really, this is silly, Just stop fucking around and put the woman in jail - WHERE SHE BELONGS – until her term is up and appoint an interim clerk of court to handle the day to day workings of the office. Problem solved.

Geez.

(b) Representations to the Court. By presenting to the court a pleading, written motion, or other paper—whether by signing, filing, submitting, or later advocating it—an attorney or unrepresented party certifies that to the best of the person’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances:

(1) it is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation;

(2) the claims, defenses, and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law;

(3) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery; and

(4) the denials of factual contentions are warranted on the evidence or, if specifically so identified, are reasonably based on belief or a lack of information.

© Sanctions.

(1) In General. If, after notice and a reasonable opportunity to respond, the court determines that Rule 11(b) has been violated, the court may impose an appropriate sanction on any attorney, law firm, or party that violated the rule or is responsible for the violation. Absent exceptional circumstances, a law firm must be held jointly responsible for a violation committed by its partner, associate, or employee.

(2) Motion for Sanctions. A motion for sanctions must be made separately from any other motion and must describe the specific conduct that allegedly violates Rule 11(b). The motion must be served under Rule 5, but it must not be filed or be presented to the court if the challenged paper, claim, defense, contention, or denial is withdrawn or appropriately corrected within 21 days after service or within another time the court sets. If warranted, the court may award to the prevailing party the reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred for the motion.

(3) On the Court’s Initiative. On its own, the court may order an attorney, law firm, or party to show cause why conduct specifically described in the order has not violated Rule 11(b).
