Seems you need to read a little more closely....

I find it bit hypocritical to be complaining about bused in anti gay activists when you are going to that County to get a marriage license.



That said if Davis had been performing her legally obligated duties neither would be there.

The 4 couples that sued were from Rowan county. The 4 couples that are seeking to have their legal bills paid are from Rowan county. This thread is about Kim Davis or the state being required to pay the legal fees for the 4 couples from Rowan county.

But because Davis is a Christian/Catholic and stuck to her religious believes she is a bigot. That's why NO ONE can take liberals seriously. They are a delusional bunch.
This is a ridiculous deflection.

The only religious group in this country that has institutionalized this sort of bigotry identifies as “Christian.â€

“Muslims, by a margin of 51 percent to 34 percent, favor same-sex marriage, compared to just four years ago when a majority, 51 percent, were opposed. There were similar results for black Protestants, with 54 percent opposing gay marriage in PRRI’s 2014 American Values Atlas, compared with 43 percent in the latest findings.

Indeed, opposition to same-sex marriage is now limited almost entirely to white conservative Christians.â€

https://www.newsweek.com/muslim-whit...arriage-907627

Further:

“In a decision of startling breadth, the Department of Health and Human Services declared that, under RFRA, a federally funded foster care agency in South Carolina has a right to discriminate against non-Christians, closing its doors to would-be parents of different faiths. â€

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...acle-mill.html


When you can prove that it isn’t so-called Christians who routinely make a point of not loving their neighbors, with an example from THIS country let us know.
Otherwise, your bias is duly noted.

Much as I hate to agree, there hasn’t been a ruling yet as to whether she is responsible or not.

The hearing was yesterday, no word on when the court may rule.

“In a dispute over fees to be argued Thursday at the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, Bevin’s outside counsel, Palmer G. Vance II, says Davis’ local policy “defied the unequivocal mandate issued by the Supreme Court."â€

hopefully the current Mr. Davis won't have to liquidate his wardrobe of bib overalls and floppy straw hats to satisfy the judgement

Marriage is a divine act between an adult male & female.

An act which promotes the creation of a functional family unit, which is a massive benefit for civilization.
In fact civilization cannot exist without traditional marriages, and will certainly implode without it.

Homosexuality is an abnormal condition strongly linked with mental illness -- the same is true with gender identity disorder (transgenderism).

A society that refuses to treat the mentally ill, and instead convinces them to live an alternative lifestyle influenced by their mental illness, is a society that will eventually collapse under the weight of its own insanity.

We are discussing legal civil marriage not some divine act. You don't need a state issued license for a divine act.

And Kim has had that divine act 4 times. Hardly a functional family unit.
