The former Kentucky clerk who refused to grant a gay couple a marriage license must pay an additional $260,104 to the couple, a federal judge ruled last week.


David Ermold and David Moore sued former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis in 2015 after she declined to issue the couple a marriage license because doing so would violate “God’s definition of marriage” and her religious beliefs as a Christian.

The additional fees Davis must pay are on top of the $100,000 in damages she was ordered to pay Ermold and Moore in September after losing the lawsuit the couple brought.

Sounds like the county court clerk is paid to process forms issued, collect fees for the county /state and serve all the citizens, not set county government policy on marriage. Go figure.:dunno:

David Louis Bunning is the son of former Republican Senator.

Bunning was nominated by President George W. Bush on September 4, 2001

 
That’s not what the law says.
That’s your religious belief, you are free to hold that belief if you wish. But you can’t violate court orders and not expect punishment
Find me a law that declares marriage is a legal union between a man and a man
It is accommodated but not mandated by law.
