The good news is, that Kim Davis's contempt conviction was upheld, and stays on her record.

Kim Davis Loses Appeal of Contempt Charge That Sent Her to Jail - The New Civil Rights Movement

However, the same inane devotion to some old superstitious fairy tales is held by a judge in Trigg County. He refused to preform a secular marriage as required by law, saying that, "I include God in my ceremonies, and I won't do one without him."

The FFRF were advised, and have started proceedings.

Great to see an organization as passionate about the 1st Amendment as the NRA is about the 2nd.

I'm sure that if they were brother and sister, he'd have had no qualms about marrying them.

I'm from Kentucky, but none of those counties you mentioned. We have a lot of nuts here but so does other states too of the news I read online. Ours is just exciting and makes the world news like Kim Davis.

And he has a right to decline to do a wedding. There is no constitutional requirment for him to violate his conscience.

Wrong. He is a public official, not a minister.

The sad part is that the lawsuits that FFRF will pursue because of the ignorance, or perhaps recalcitrance, of Kentucky public officials, is that the Kentucky taxpayer is the one who suffers in the end.

When will they learn? When will YOU understand?
