LGBT News Kim Davis now tampering with marriage documents

Is this enough evidence to send her back to prison yet? Is this interference enough yet?

If the state can just confirm the new form works either way, then whatever, keep on marrying without care for her.

 

Honestly this saddens me but doesn't surprise me

 

Sounds like someone is going back to jail.

 

Well, she obviously didn't learn her lesson in that extremely miniscule jail sentence. Somebody needs to go back to her time out corner so she can grow up and let the adults do their jobs.

 

Oh boy. -__-

 

Luke 12:54-59
"And He was also saying to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it turns out. “And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, ‘It will be a hot day,’ and it turns out that way. “You hypocrites! You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not analyze this present time?

“And why do you not even on your own initiative judge what is right? “For while you are going with your opponent to appear before the magistrate, on your way there make an effort to settle with him, so that he may not drag you before the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. “I say to you, you will not get out of there until you have paid the very last cent.”

 

Whyyyy she got to be like that. She seems to be so angry. People are just asking her to do your job. She keeps trying to make this bigger than it needs to be. It doesn't even need to be a thing.

But she thinks she like so important or something and I think having some people back her up makes her keep up with these antics.

 

Can someone please lock her fucking ass up and throw away the key?

 

She really just needs to let it go (and go back to jail).

 

I have a different take on this - the more she is in the news, for her protracted yet futile attempts to be religious, the more everyone sees the stupidity in her and the rest of the religious rights position. Plus, its really good fodder and distraction from other day to day real world stresses.

 

She's already found a new job. Some Christian publishing company has offered her a book deal, with the book set to be released right around Christmas.

 

As a Kentuckian, I feel obligated to say something:

Eastern Kentucky, which is where her county is, is almost like a different state. In fact, it feels more like an extension of West Virginia. While Kentucky isn't leading the region, let alone the world, in progressiveness, if we exclude the eastern area, we'd go up by quite a bit. Of course this doesn't excuse what is going on, but it is important to note when observing or speaking out on this topic.

To save you all a boring history lesson, here's the gist:

Western Kentucky (which is what I'm a part of) tends to be more ignorant than idiotic, because we embrace tradition. Eastern Kentucky (where Kim Davis is a part of) tends to be more idiotic than ignorant, because they embrace righteousness. A idiosyncratic perversion of righteousness nonetheless, but to them, still righteousness that makes them special. See, as backwards as the West can be (we do have an Imperial Klan HQ), we don't push backwards, we just want to stay where we are -- which has unfortunate implications. The East likes to act as our morality, and even we crack jokes about them and dislike their antics, but they perceive it as being right, as they love to quote Bible verses about being persecuted and mocked as proof they're right, which goes back to that whole embracing righteousness.

What we, the West, learned in dealing with the East is this. You have to be clever when addressing or suggesting to them, because the moment they sense you're trying to change them, they cling to their Bibles and guns. Basically, you can force individuals like Kim Davis to do their job, but it's only solving what is affected and not the problem itself. Kind of like putting a band-aid on a cut foot, but leaving the broken glass on the sidewalk.

You only have to look at the support she is getting, and from the likes of Mike Huckabee at that. We could say there is a silent support, too, those who don't speak up out of concern for being perceived intolerant or hateful. Kentucky has a lot of that, but the interesting thing is, the vast majority of them, if something comes to pass, they'll bitch and complain but go along with it. This 'whining apathy' majority is interesting, but can be useful if you deal with it appropriately.

This is why, despite our typically-dependable-vote for Republicans nationally, we've been swayed to vote Democratic (ala Bill Clinton) Presidents. But more interestingly, despite having Mitch McConnell, a Republican, representing us in the Senate as Majority Leader, locally, Kentucky has a lot of Democratic representatives. Individually, we'd be Democrats, but together we're Republicans... and that's the best way I can explain Kentucky; a clusterfuck of confusion.

 

I think there is a mistake in the last paragraph of the article.

"Kentucky’s Democratic governor and attorney general have both said the licenses are valid and will be recognized by the state. Bunning, the federal judge, has said he does not know if the licenses are valid and it was up to the couples to take that chance."

I've seen this exact wording when she was in jail. I think what the governor, judge, and AG are referring to is the original form, merely signed by the deputy clerk instead of Kim Davis herself. According to someone I know who is licensed to practice law in Kentucky, that is legal. This new altered form does raise some issues. Not having her name printed on the form might not be an issue, but not having the county name, and particularly not allowing the format to be signed by anyone at all is a potential problem. There are times and circumstances when initials of a government official are acceptable on legal forms, but usually as an addition to a signature, not in place of it. (even though some peoples signatures are harder to read than some initials)

I think the bottom line is that she's sitting in her office by herself thinking that no one is paying attention to her anymore, that she is irrelevant, and wants her 15 minutes of fame back.

 

^^ Man this comment made me hungry for kfc

 

Did you guys hear she got a book deal with a Christian publisher to write about her "struggle"?

 

Wow ok this is interesting so it turns out Kim Davis is a democrat! Definetly not a liberal one though.

 

Exactly. What a circus. It almost became a caricature when she was out there with Huckabee and "Eye of the Tiger" was playing. Lol.

I do think she needs to go straight to jail and be fired without pay from her job... Retroactively.
