Now Kentucky Clerk’s Son Won’t Issue Gay Marriage Licenses
Kim Davis’s son is also a clerk who now refuses to issue marriage licenses to gays.
Five of six deputy clerks in Rowan County, Kentucky, agreed Thursday to abide court orders and issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
The clerks told U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning at the federal courthouse in Ashland that they would issue the licenses after the judge ordered their boss, Rowan County clerk Kim Davis, to be jailed on contempt charges for defying multiple court orders.
Bunning told the six deputy clerks they could either issue marriage licenses or join Davis in jail.
The one deputy who refuse to comply was Davis’ 21-year-old son, Nathan. The judge said he wouldn’t hold Nathan in contempt.
Rowan County Attorney Cecil Watkins said in a Wednesday interview that the deputy clerks were too afraid to disagree with Davis to issue same-sex marriage licenses.

mega dotto diddys on that.
and if it don’t work like in NC against injured workers who refuse to sign off on their crooked deals –
just make a new law that takes any compensation/medical treatment away.
worked just fine last time around in Germany for about 12 years.

Malachi 2:16: “I hate divorce, says the LORD God of Israel.”
(Matthew 5:32) But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
“Haven’t you read that at the beginning
the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, “For this reason
a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
and the two will become one flesh?” So they are no longer two
but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate”
(Matthew 19:4-6).
So Jesus did say something about divorce but nothing about the gays so this 4 time married hypocrite is an abomination in the Lord’s eyes but not the gays.
The fundies need to learn to READ the bible, in every study ever done, Atheists always know more about religion than the ones claiming to be christians…there is a reason for that, once you read it, you can’t believe it any more.

Hi! Please post this on her FB page or her son’s. Thanks
CandideThirtythree September 3rd, 2015 at 17:59
LOL, do they have Facebook pages? Neither of them look bright enough to figure out how to turn the computer on. That family has been occupying that office for at least 3 generations now so they are sorta like redneck royalty there, I doubt they do any work, they just make the underlings do it LOL!
allison1050 September 3rd, 2015 at 18:20
They just might have. When I see some strange declaration that an idiot made so far I’ve found that they did have a FB page and have left here to go comment there. ;o)

I’m guessing that that wasn’t one of the cherry picked verses she lives by.

Nope, she is an old testament kinda gal, she is like… Jesus who?
The Original Just Me September 4th, 2015 at 00:26
But she got Religion and that makes it all right. All is forgiven.
whatthe46 September 4th, 2015 at 00:31
well, she should be super pissed with her god, i mean, why didn’t he keep her out of jail. what a mean god hers is.
The Original Just Me September 4th, 2015 at 13:39
God put her in jail so he could talk to her without all of the cameras around.
Budda September 3rd, 2015 at 17:37
Why won’t the judge hold this dipsh1t in contempt? Let him join his mother in jail. Oh, and which of her 4 husbands is the daddy?
Larry Schmitt September 3rd, 2015 at 17:47
I guess the words equal treatment under the law mean nothing to that judge.
Mike September 4th, 2015 at 00:14
Let’s see, #2 adopted #3’s, and #1 had a child with the wife of #4 but the twins DNA says they’re from #2 even though she claims their father is #3 while #2 says he had a vasectomy performed by #1 right before she married #4….
Probability….
#1 22%
#2 34%
#3 19%
#4 2%
Sorry, that’s the best I can do…it a fkn mess
Obewon September 4th, 2015 at 01:23
I’ve got it. The son pictured above is also hubby #4! Kentucky family values.

well, i had my own idea too. it’s up above. lol. this is a fun puzzle.
allison1050 September 3rd, 2015 at 17:40
And so what was the reason that the judge gave for not holding her son, I must have missed that part,
CandideThirtythree September 3rd, 2015 at 18:01
Because the others in the office said they would do it so he doesn’t have to but when she was there, she would not let the others do it.
allison1050 September 3rd, 2015 at 18:18
So is the whipper snapper now running the office I wonder?
Dwendt44 September 3rd, 2015 at 20:18
With the head goof ball gone, I would think seniority would rule the day. But being Kentucky, who knows.
The Original Just Me September 4th, 2015 at 00:24
Who cares. It is Kentucky.
CandideThirtythree September 4th, 2015 at 00:42
Between the mother and daughter they have had that office tied up for 67 years so far and now sonny boy taking over…I think they should let someone else have a turn, all that nepotism isn’t fair.
Steveaux September 4th, 2015 at 10:18
Check your math, mom had it for the last 40 and daughter was just elected into mom’s position last November, but she was a deputy under mom for 27, and now with her son working there, plenty of nepotism in that office for the years to come
The Original Just Me September 4th, 2015 at 00:22
Now that sounds reasonable for this case.

The Original Just Me September 4th, 2015 at 00:19
No, I think she was married to # 2 when # 3 got her pregnant. But # 2 adopted the twins. Then after # 3 she remarried # 2 to become #4. Does that make any sense ?
whatthe46 September 4th, 2015 at 00:23
no no no. she was pregnant with the twins while married to #1 for #3, but married #2 who adopted #3 kids, then divorced #2 to marry #3, then divorced #3 to marry #4. now, did she get pregnant with this idiot son while married to #4 for #3 or is there a mystery #5? your turn, this is fun. lol

She had twins, fathered by the third husband while married to the second husband which became third husband. Lord that is hard to keep track of. The point is, there are two of the same out there.

“Bunning told the six deputy clerks they could either issue marriage licenses or join Davis in jail. The one deputy who refuse to comply was Davis’ 21-year-old son, Nathan. The judge said he wouldn’t hold Nathan in contempt.” WAIT WHY? so, everyone would be fair game, but not him. b.s. and they shouldn’t have the whole klan working there to begin with.
The Original Just Me September 4th, 2015 at 00:13
You are Correct.
BlueCat September 4th, 2015 at 14:24
You got most of that right. However the reason Nathan was not held in contempt was because the five other Clerks said they would issue marriage licenses. Remember Nathan was not named in the suit against his mother.
whatthe46 September 4th, 2015 at 14:31
he still has a job to perform. if he won’t do his job, then he needs to be fired. she doesn’t pay his salary nor does he work for her.
granpa.usthai September 3rd, 2015 at 18:47
call the lawless clerk back into court with the same options given to the one before him. If all else fails, a Federal Judge can duly deputise an acting clerk to uphold US LAW at their county level. Personally, I’d give the governor of Kentucky exactly 30 minutes to ensure this county upholds the Federal Law – or have their ass brought in too.
It’s not a freedom of religion rite
It’s THE LAW.

I can.
Dwendt44 September 3rd, 2015 at 20:16
As the elected official she has the power to hire and fire at will. No unions allowed. So naturally her son needs a gray job and she gave him one.
The rest could be fired at will so they are scared of this nut case. She will get even when she gets out of jail if she still has that position.
whatthe46 September 3rd, 2015 at 21:08
her son should be fired on the spot.
Jeffrey Samuels September 4th, 2015 at 09:49
I think she will find herself back in court if she tries to fire the clerks that are obeying the law.
atunionbob September 4th, 2015 at 13:47
The county has already taken action to terminate her as Clerk.
BlueCat September 4th, 2015 at 14:19
Sorry but you are wrong the County has no authority to do that. This is an elected position. Only the State House of Kentucky can impeach Davis. What has been do though: The attorneys for the plaintiffs have petitioned the Ky. Attorney General to select a procurator to investigate and try her under the Constitution of Kentucky for misconduct which is punishable by up to one year in prison. It is also a felony which means she cannot hold office.
maggie September 3rd, 2015 at 20:51

If your employer requires you to do something that violates your moral or religious convictions, you simply resign.

Tell a 7th day Adventist that they must work on Saturday, and they’ll be out the door.

Let’s see, she had a conversion so she is a Born again Christian. Now maybe, JUST MAYBE, she also had a Political Conversion. She sure ain’t following ANY Democrat Doctrine and NO DEMOCRATS are backing her. BUT, she sure does have a lot of Tea Party/Republicans licking her feet. Do you want to reconsider ?

“I don’t even know where to start. I am so humbled and feel so blessed that the people put so much confidence in me,” said Davis. “My words can never express the appreciation but I promise to each and every one that I will be the very best working clerk that I can be and will be a good steward of their tax dollars and follow the statutes of this office to the letter.”
Kim Davis, following her election to the position.
