Rowan County Clerk Refuses Marriage License…..Again
This morning the office of Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis has for the third time denied William Smith Jr. and James Yates a marriage license despite an order from a federal appeals that upheld a judge’s directive to issue the licenses.
U.S. District Judge David Bunning had already ordered Davis to issue marriage licenses two weeks ago. He later delayed that ruling until Aug. 31 or until the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling. The appeals court did so on Wednesday, denying Davis’ appeal.
A deputy clerk in Davis’ office told Smith and Yates that the office believes Bunning’s delay remains in effect until Aug. 31. He refused to give his name or give them a license.
Davis has refused to issue marriage licenses, citing her Christian faith and constitutional right to religious liberty, despite a U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
Apparently,Christians are the only ones deserving of constitutional rights of religious liberty… I am in serious doubt of her Christian faith. She seems to be enjoying the camera time too much.
