Former county clerk had disputed lawyers’ fees for Kentucky couple who won $100,000 damages

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.

    SCotUS will rule that Christians are exempt from the law under the first amendment because being forced to obey the law is tantamount to being forced to agree with the law, which is compelled speech.

      We should start mailing bound sacks with money signs on them to Thomas, a note on it telling him how we want him to vote. Might as well be honest about the situation. Fill the bags with glitter.
