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.

    As an engineer you’re not right about us. Yes many of us are secular, but a ton of us are religious, especially defense engineers.

    What I was saying is that religions exempt from the draft don’t get to enlist, if it were ruled in Davis’s favor they’d be allowed to, and some people are little shits who absolutely would enlist to sit around as pacifists. Just in general it opens up a lot of room for bad faith behavior on all sides
