We all remember back in 2015 when Kim Davis, and Kentucky county clerk, refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples following the Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges decision that legalized same-sex marriage, citing her religious beliefs. A federal judge ruled on Friday that Davis violated two same-sex couples' constitutional rights when she refused to marry them back in 2015.
Bunning reasoned that Davis “cannot use her own constitutional rights as a shield to violate the constitutional rights of others while performing her duties as an elected official.”
One reason it took so long for this case to wind its way to resolution is that Davis had the backing of a powerful conservative legal group.
This issue went all the way up to the US Supreme Court, which declined to take the case and thus allowed the lawsuit to move forward.
The only issue left to address in this case is for a jury to decide how much the plaintiffs will get in compensatory damages and whether or not they should be awarded any punitive damages.
Losers gonna lose. I'm sure the same conservative group will pay the damages. Which doesn't matter. They will be paying damages to people they hate. That's what matters. Did I say losers gonna lose?
Looks like religious liberty just got turned on it's ear. And considering the fact religious liberty is an oxymoron, that's a very good thing.
Jesus said pray in your closet, not in the street as the hypocrites do.
You now have the liberty to go get in your closet.
