SCOTUS to Clerk: Issue Same-Sex Marriage Licenses (Updated)


The Supreme Court has refused to stay a ruling from a lower court that ordered Rowan Co., Kentucky county clerk and hell-fearin' Bible banger Kim "Dim" Davis to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples.  The ruling requires Dim to issue those licenses starting this morning or face fines or jail time.  Dim has been declining to issue marriage licenses based on her "religious beliefs," a justification not accepted by any court.  Recently, she stopped issuing all marriage licenses, and said she was prayin' sumpin' feerce last night in advance of her office opening this morning.  (If we were her, we'd be getting our retirement papers in order).

What makes this all the more amusing is that Dim inadvertently issued a marriage license to a transgender man and his wife last February, so she's a-gonna burn in them Hell fires anyway.  Dim comes from that line of wingnuts that has been screaming about President Obama "shredding the Constitution." But when it comes to applying the law to people they want to discriminate against, they want their "religious beliefs" to supersede the Constitution.

UPDATE:  It looks like Dim is defying the Supreme Court order this morning because JEEBUS! told her to.  It's time to fine or jail her lawless backside.
