    Default Federal Court Rules Anti-Gay County Clerk Kim Davis Must Pay $224,000

    Justice: A federal appeals court has ruled that former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, the anti-gay Kentucky clerk who refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses, must pay $224,000 in legal fees incurred for violating the civil rights of same-sex couples.


    The Court of Appeals correctly found that April Miller and the other ACLU clients prevailed by forcing the former Clerk to abandon her unlawful policy of withholding marriage licenses from the public. By affirming the sizeable fee award, the Court also sent a strong message to other government officials in Kentucky that it is not only unconstitutional to use public office to impose one’s personal religious views on others, but that it also can be a very expensive mistake.

    I love the sweet smell of justice in the afternoon.

    This hateful heifer should have taken the advice of all the Reichwingers on here when someone complains about their job -- If you don't like what you're expected to do, or what your pay is, get another one.

    Kim Davis has never seen that much money in her life, either cumulative or in a lump sum.

    She'll never pay a dime of this award.
