Judge Bunning said he does not lightly send Rowan Co clerk to jail. But "in this country, we live in a society of laws."
no one is asking you to be in a gay marriage. You aren't forced to perform a ceremony, you just are processing a form. It's ridiculous. And not very Christian I may add.

"Our system of justice requires citizens - and significantly, elected officials - to follow the rules of the courts," Judge Bunning says.

She has previously stated that even if she didn't personally issue or sign the license that her name would still be on it and she couldn't abide by that. She has really forced the issue.
It's not her job to approve or disapprove legal marriages
For like ever that if a public official doesn't like something or want to do something in a local, county, or state operation they resign. Fine. Simple. You might get a few questions thrown your way as to why you decided to do that, but everyone moves on with their life, quickly, and it's a not a huge deal. That's what she should have done. Perhaps she desires the attention she's now getting. I wonder if she thought jail was ever a realistic possibility. We'll see I guess, depending on how quick she folds.
and rightly so. But why bother? He's a huckster and an opportunists...nothing more.
I still love how he stood by the Duggars after the child-molestation story came out but then dropped them altogether when he realized that they would bring his image down. And this from a family that espoused "family value" according to their views when their son was an adulterous child molester and they were complicit in keeping it hush hush.

So you have two other opportunists promising to endorse this clown...how does that make what I posted wrong?
The judge said jail was the only option as fines were very likely going to be paid by third parties - is that a taxable event for this woman? Is it because the individual donations don't exceed the $14,000 mark, even though they may in aggregate?

Five deputy clerks willing to follow the law seems adequate, Judge Bunning said. He won't hold Kim Davis' son, Nathan, in contempt.

Faced w/ contempt & jail, 5 of Kim Davis' 6 deputy clerks tell judge they would be OK issuing marriage licenses to all. Her son says no.

One way or another, Judge Bunning says, couples need to be able to walk into Rowan Co clerk office Friday morning and get license.

Judge will hold new hearing at 3:30 to decide if her deputies agreeing to give licenses over her objections makes jailing her unneeded.

Kim Davis will return to courtroom at 3:30 & tell judge if she's willing to let her deputies obey law over her objections. If not, jail.

Well...I guess we'll see just how strong her conviction is. Or if she'll save herself from being thrown in jail and save face by allowing her deputies to carry out the duties.

Her name will still be on the license and she said that was the reson she wouldn't allow her clerks to issue them. Now? We'll see.
Bunning initially ordered Davis to remain in jail until she agrees to comply with his Aug. 12 order, but he scheduled a new hearing for 3:30 p.m. to reconsider that decision after her deputies said they would issue licenses in her absence.
Tennessee judge that won't let a straight couple get divorced because of the recent supreme court decision. He apparently feels he's no longer allowed to say anything about marriage anymore.
Quote:
The Tennessee Court of Appeals has noted that Obergefell v. Hodges, affected what is, and must be recognized as, a lawful marriage in the State of Tennessee. This leaves a mere trial level Tennessee state court judge in a bit of a quandary.
...
With the U.S. Supreme Court having defined what must be recognized as a marriage, it would appear that Tennessees judiciary must now await the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court as to what is not a marriage, or better stated, when a marriage is no longer a marriage.

Kim Davis tells judge she'd rather stay in jail than cooperate with her deputies giving marriage licenses. OK, jail it is, judge says.
Dominic Holden @dominicholden
Davis did not come back to the courtroom as requested. She spoke through her attorneys. Remains in custody indefinitely.
but how can the deputy give a marriage license without the consent of the elected clerk? It's like the White House Chief of Staff signing a bill into law without the consent of the President, no? Or a judge's clerk signing an order.
It is the signature of the person with power -- judge, clerk, or President -- that makes the deed official. If the deputy signs a marriage license over the objection of the elected clerk, is the marriage legal?

Idiot. What, they signed a no third party run agreement and that is what you equate.. Huckabee has a snowballs' chance in hell of getting nominated to dog catcher. Talk about talking out your ass.

Remember, she's stopped marriage licenses from being issued. Period. To anyone. Question is, can she stop her office from serving the taxpayers?

Judge Bunning warns Rowan Co deputy clerks their office better open Friday and comply. Couples plan to be there for licenses.
Starting tomorrow, is it business as usual at the Clerk's office, with marriage licenses for all eligible couples? And Davis sits in a cell until she's formerly given her walking papers, or until she agrees to not interfere with the obligations of her office?
Joe Dunman @JoeDunman
Hearing concluded. Clerk in custody. Deputies to issue licenses tomorrow, though they expressed reluctance but for contempt threat.
