Judge Bunning has just issued a court order that requires deputy clerks to authorize same-sex marriage licenses. And so he has released Kim Davis from her federal jail cell.
The judge in this case appears to be attempting to manufacture what the Kentucky legislature has not done: a conscience exemption for gay marriage dissenters. So far so good.
His order, however, requires her not to interfere with deputy clerks issuing same-sex marriage licenses in her name. The reprieve could be short-lived, unless the governor and the legislature acts.
UPDATE: The Daily Mail is reporting Rowan County is removing Kim Davis’ name from its pre-printed authorization forms.

The key thing here is that it is an abomination in the eyes of God. For those who are looking past this earthly life, they know that marriage is one man and one woman.

Not in a true Christian church you are not married, but in a Satanic church and are pleasing Satan sure your worthless union is called a marriage. It maybe legal but it is still false and counterfeit as marriage is one man and one woman in the eyes of God.
Your God is Satan and your church is not Christian and we the people said otherwise as the phony homosexual victories came through the corrupt court system. It is not my opinion but is the truth regarding marriage.

Poor Tiredconservative! Maybe on Planet LaLaLand these are “counterfeit” marriages, however on earth they are legal and religious marriages.
I am legally and religiously same-sex married. I was married in my church, by my pastor, in front of friends and family. My marriage is recognized by my God, my church, my state and my country. Don’t flatter yourself into thinking your opinion matters. No one asked.

Great point and post their Ann. You pointed out the double standard of Kagan who also said there was no Constitutional right to phony same sex marriage at her confirmation hearings. Yet willfully was lying when it came time to give her verdict on the Supreme Court case.
The main other issue here for Kim Davis was having her name on these counterfeit marriage licenses. She did not want any licenses issued using her name. So in effect her name is still on these false marriage licenses that are being issued to same sex couples. That is what the homosexual activists wanted all along.

Poor Annie Old Girl, the heinous monster Kim Davis used the brute force of government to deny a gay couple their religious liberty and constitutional rights. She is the one who failed to protect our inherent Right to Religious Liberty you claim to cherish–or is it only Right Wing Fundamentalism that gets liberty? If so, you crave a state religion.

With all due respect, our Constitution serves to protect and secure our inherent Right to Religious Liberty; not to coerce persons into condoning the engaging in or affirmation of sexual acts outside of the marital act, which can only be consummated between a man and woman, united in marriage as husband and wife.
Here is what Justice Kagan had to say in Yates v. United States:
“…assigning “tangible object” its ordinary mean- ing comports with noscitur a sociis and ejusdem generis when applied, as they should be, with attention to §1519’s subject and purpose. Those canons require identifying a common trait that links all the words in a statutory phrase. See, e.g., Graham County Soil and Water Conser- vation Dist. v. United States ex rel. Wilson, 559 U. S. 280, 289, n. 7 (2010); Ali, 552 U. S., at 224–226″… “But whatever the wisdom or folly of §1519, this Court does not get to rewrite the law. ‘Resolution of the pros and cons of whether a statute should sweep broadly or narrowly is for Congress.‘ Rodgers, 466 U. S., at 484. If judges disagree with Congress’s choice, we are perfectly entitled to say so—in lectures, in law review articles, and even in dicta. But we are not entitled to replace the stat- ute Congress enacted with an alternative of our own design.”
Promoting Marriage Fraud is not just an instance of judicial overreach, it is an impeachable offense.

Kim Davis could contest the unjustified charge of contempt through prima facie evidence of fraud which occurred when The Supreme Court removed the necessary requirement for a valid marriage contract, in order to accommodate persons who do not have the ability and desire to exist in relationship as husband and wife, thus nullify every previous binding marriage contract and every future marriage contract between a husband and wife, while promoting both marriage fraud and the sin of adultery, simultaneously.
Good to see so many candidates supporting Kim Davis. They will be given priority on my “to-vote-for” candidate list.
