Kim Davis, the former county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses in Kentucky to same-sex couples, must pay a total of $260,104 in fees and expenses to attorneys who represented one couple, according to a federal judge’s ruling.
That is in addition to $100,000 in damages a jury said the former Rowan county clerk should pay the couple who sued.
…
Davis drew international attention when she was briefly jailed in 2015 over her refusal despite the US supreme court’s legalization of same-sex marriage. She based her refusal on her belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.
It’s almost like the conservative court strategy is to appeal, delay, and hope you die before you face any consequences.
It’s almost like the “justice” system was organized like that on purpose because a lot of the people who helped write the constitution didn’t want the aristocracy to go anywhere, or to have to face consequences, so they wrote a shitty constitution that still generally protected everyone in a position of power from ever having to answer to “a fucking plebeian.”
Gee, I wonder why the justice system is boiled down to “Whoever has the most money can just fucking wait out the other guy to win.”
Too much of our judicial system globally is based on Roman law. Our concept of private property is derived from their excuse for maintaining slavery.
Yeah the People’s History is entertaining but might want to move on to real history at some point, but hey I get the urge. I enjoyed the movie Braveheart which is much more accurate.
Your comment comes off as from someone who hasn’t read the US Constitution before.
And yours comes off as being smug about having read it, in spite of not having understood key aspects of it.
Oh same thing I am doing with my student loan debt.
If I make it to death it means I win.
