KY AG: Kim Davis violated Open Records Act

Posted by | July 5, 2016 21:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licences to gay couples, violated the Open Records Act according to the state’s attorney general’s office.

Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis violated the act by refusing to produce documents related to the gay marriage battle, the attorney general’s office said in an opinion.

The nonprofit Campaign for Accountability requested records between Davis and her attorneys, the religious advocacy group Liberty Counsel, on March 1, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.

Liberty Counsel refused, saying the documents are preliminary and private. Liberty Counsel represented Davis after she was sued for refusing to issue marriage licenses.

The Open Records Act provides for costs and attorney’s fees to be awarded in some cases as well as up to $25 per day for each day the person is denied access to the record. Liberty Counsel can appeal the attorney general’s opinion.

    No reasonable prosecutor would prosecute this case.

      No reasonable prosecutor would prosecute a case where no crime has been committed.

      That determination has been made for Sec. Clinton. That determination has not been made for Ms. Davis.

      Sorry but your false equivalence does not work here..

      It would be funny if it were not so pathetic how the Clinton haters pout like spoiled children when their Vince Foster and similar delusions run head-on into the bright light of reality.

      this bastard was at the forefront of impeaching Clinton for getting a blow job by a consenting adult. he’s a repuke like you, so it’s all good. twisted pos.

        And thrice-married Bob Barr introduced the “Defense of Marriage Act.”

        And then he claimed to be a libertarian!

          Odd how rabid Republicans are running away from the party they wrenched away from the moderates and now call themselves ‘Libertarians’. Not so odd that they still have the same old crappy policies on their agenda.

          • Mensa Member July 6th, 2016 at 00:57

            And it’s ironic that the Democrats are far better aligned with true libertarianism than are the modern “Libertarians.”

            • Mensa Member July 6th, 2016 at 01:00

              And the Republican Party? Not even close to libertarianism.

      well, reasonable or not, Gowdy could milk this baby longer than BENGHAZI !

      – and with double the cost to the TAXPAYERS with nare a result.

    • bpollen July 6th, 2016 at 03:13

      And your expertise on “reasonable prosecutor” is what? What role do you play in the legal system? What education gives you the expertise to declare what is or is not “reasonable” behavior for a prosecutor? Let’s just say I have doubts about your legal CV, and want to know why your opinion should be believed.

    • Comicus July 6th, 2016 at 19:24

      Why is that, Ronnie? I look forward to your legal analysis, backed up by relevant case law and precedent.

    This woman continues to cost the taxpayers money with her ignorant shenanigans.
    People will tire of having to pay for her ignorance soon.

    Jerry Falwell’s constitutionally illiterate and legally incompetent “Liberty Counsel represented Davis” Indict both. Disbar the faux atty. Kill two birds with one stone. Pull!

      And if any help is needed, I’m sure Cheney has some free time and a shotgun.

          Obama would duck and cover if he saw that bastard coming near.

    Hopefully they will prosecute her, then Huckabee and Cruz can swoop in and have their pictures taken with her, just like they did with the Duggars.

        seems to be in order to me.

        Husband #2 is definitely the dumbest.

        Oh my one needs a flow chart to keep up. One question: which ones are her cousins and which are her brothers?

    • granpa.usthai July 6th, 2016 at 00:47

      don’t hardly see how they can prosecute her if she is committing her criminal acts for Jesus?

  6. SmartPatriot July 6th, 2016 at 11:23

    Oh my god enough with this woman and her phony morality, that is of course AFTER she’s done had her fun “Sinning” with her affairs, births out of wedlock, and multiple marriages!.. These right wingers and their ” respect for the law and authority must be absolute” when someone who represents something they dont like is embroiled in an altercation, until it inconveniences them or infringes on THEIR concept of right and wrong and then its ” we must take a stand against Government tyranny”!. seriously the conservative hypocrisy is not even remotely subtle.

    RW Christians are very forgiving of adultery, divorce, gay affairs and the like as long as they are committed by fellow righties, but will pillory everyone else for even the most minor infraction of their “morality”. In fact it seems that the above behaviors are considered to be positive attributes for Republican candidates.
