No more same-sex marriages? Next will be interracial marriages.
Child marriages will still be okay cause pedophiles are protected by Republicans.
This case should have been stamped out a very long time ago. Her first amendment rights do not give her the authority to reject a valid marriage application. Refusing to do your job is not protected by any amendment, because it isn’t speech. There is no valid legal argument in defense of her actions.
The fact that we’re here, still talking about it, and there’s a chance she could be heard by this corrupted supreme court, that tells you where we are as a free nation.
Exactly. If you have moral or religious beliefs that will prevent you from doing your job it’s on you to find another.
Especially when it’s a public sector position that’s financed through taxes
Yes, but have you considered that the Supreme Court doesn’t care and wants instead to allow religious activists (like themselves) to disregard prior precedent and other religious beliefs in favor of enshrining their own personal beliefs as civil law? It’s really rather unfair of you to not consider their personal beliefs, which says they should be able to impose theirs and ignores yours, y’know.
To the right wing authoritarian mindset, unless their unwarranted special privileges (of being xtian) are not only centered, but put up on a pedestal, they think they are being “oppressed” and that they don’t have “freedom”.
The Southern notion of “freedom” and “liberty” involves things like owning others and forcing your own views onto everyone else, with the blessing and the power of the government.
So we get the idiocy of these people acting like they are the keepers of “liberty”, and “freedom” and say things about being for the Constitution and a “small government” with a straight face, even though all of it is a brazen lie. Forcing other peoples’ kids to pray to their god, use something like the “trump bible” and be denied their right to marry who they please is the exact opposite of freedom.
Funny how this is a religious violation but I’ve never seen a catholic cop suing the government over complicity in someone’s execution
Why the fuck is this woman still tormenting us all with her existence
Because madame l’guillotine takes time to build
Sir rope and lord spear take of easy access.
You need to have standing to take a case before the court. I promise you a room full of people convinced her to try this and is paying her way.
Walking scumbag of a woman…
What kind of miserable shit you have to be, just get help or kill yourself lady
Imagine if this lady put this much energy into feeding the needy.
But if she did that she wouldn’t be an American Christian.
Imagine if this lady put this much energy into being in a good healthy marriage instead getting married 3 times.
LMFAO why is it ALWAYS a wild ride with these people
Davis has been married four times to three husbands
Her third husband is the biological father of the twins, the children being conceived while Davis was still married to her first husband. The twins were adopted by Davis’s current husband, Joe Davis, who was also her second husband; the couple initially divorced in 2006 but later remarried
Davis says she experienced a religious awakening in 2011, following her mother-in-law’s dying wish that she attend church.[13] Since then Davis has identified herself as a Christian, belonging to the Apostolic Pentecostal movement,[199] which favors what they describe as a literal interpretation of the Bible.[200] She worships three times a week[201] at the Solid Rock Apostolic Church near Morehead.[13][202] Following her conversion, Davis let her hair grow long, stopped wearing makeup and jewelry, and began wearing skirts and dresses that fall below the knee, in keeping with Apostolic Pentecostal tenets regarding outward holiness and modest dress.[98][202] She also held a weekly Bible study for female inmates at the local jail.[13][202] In an interview in January 2016, Davis said that she believed that “we are living in end times.”[203] Davis also expressed her view that the Bible is infallible.[203]
these people are simply fucking nutjobs, absolute messes
I thought it was 4 because one dude married her twice?
Kim Davis is a rotten cunt.
How is this stupid cunt still around?! I guess SCOTUS is going to codify a state religion
It’s all in Project 2025.
How many years and this bitch still hasn’t done anything about that mess she calls hair
There’s a John Oliver vid that goes into the Org “Alliance Defending Freedom” that does nothing but prop up suits like this. They go and set up suits that are clearly meant to trigger SC battles.
I could have sworn she died. Maybe it was just wishful thinking.
Still plenty of time
Can we all band together and sue the fuck out of Kim Davis?
I hear you. Right wing mofo are always suing somebody. Biggest bunch of crybabies I’ve ever seen.
OK, so she was a county clerk who refused to issue a marriage certificate to a same-sex couple and was briefly jailed and fined as a result. Now she’s the vehicle to overturn same-sex marriage because she’s seen as basically the only person who would have standing to bring the issue before the Supreme Court again?
But how does her case have any bearing on whether or not same-sex marriage should be legal? It’s a separate and unrelated issue. The connection isn’t even tenuous, it just seems nonexistent.
I really hope the Supreme Court just declines to hear the case. At least Kavanaugh and Barrett don’t seem interested in revisiting the issue.
When has a conservative ever given you a reason to believe that they are arguing in good faith?
My guess would be allowing people to refuse marriage certificates based on their biased beliefs, and i don’t think this stops at just same sex either, it probably will extend to race, religion or just that they don’t like you because you were not “nice” to them
It’s the oblique route for sure, but could be just as effective in the long run. You wouldn’t have to actually overturn the legal concept of gay marriage, while at the same time being able to prevent gay marriage from happening in the future.
You just have to empower the position with the power to deny access to a marriage license and then fill those positions with people who don’t think it should exist. With one ruling you could potentially make it legal to deny gay people marriages, deny women the right to a divorce, or whatever insanely bigoted shit religious people dream up.
Exactly, and I’m sure that’s the intention here.
Well, it shouldn’t but the Supreme Court is going to jump at any excuse to overturn same-sex marriage. No legal reason, they just want to
I’d like some reporter to ask Bessent (on camera) about his own marriage and if it should be nullified by SCOTUS.
I’m so happy to see everyone in agreement here. Lemmy is so much better than reddit. I just gotta learn how to use it all but that’s the fun part
Here come the right wing chuds from a decade ago. Great.
Urgh, not this asshole again. I thought she had crawled back under her hoarder fundie-Christian bridge a while ago.
Idk if you’ve been paying attention, but the fundies are 46% of the way through P2025.
Yeah I know. I just thought (hoped) that particular insufferable fundie had fucked off.
And then there is this stupid cunt who is still around, spewing her hate. WTF?!
