Supreme Court: Kim Davis must pay $360,000 for denying marriage licenses



WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.

The justices turned away an appeal from Kim Davis, the former Kentucky court clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples after the high court’s 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges.

Davis had been trying to get the court to overturn a lower-court order for her to pay $360,000 in damages and attorney’s fees to a couple denied a marriage license.

Getting a judgement is only one small step in getting any money. Enforcing a judgement is an archane and tedious process.

Has anyone in the Trump CABAL, including him, had to pay a penny of all the judgements/??????? Dubious

Besides where in the world do they think she is gonna get that kind of money, even if she worked ten lifetimes....

It's the compassionate words of Jesus that guide her life. And Jesus don't like none'a that boy-boy, girl-girl stuff going ... Well maybe if it's your local pastor or priest.... that's kinda different but other than that, she was sticking. up for Jesus.

Maybe 50 years from now, you will be able to buy Kimmie statues or rings at Liberty University's gift shop.

So there.

NO, she won't.

I spent several years working in that area of Kentucky. She's a typical biblethumper -- in spite of her four marriages to three different men and god only knows how many affairs on the side.

she also seems to be the type of person, probably narcissistic, who is incapable of ever admitting they were wrong.

I wish my brother was still living. He was dead (AIDS) long before she ever showed her ugly heart to any of us. He would have loved this. We would have shared a long laugh. God, I do not think there is any way to miss someone as much as I miss him. 23 years ago and I still wear things that were his.

For now I hope to be able to see her foul soul in jail all because someone different than she is wanted to be able to do the simple things the rest of us never even really think about.

Go broke for your horrible wishes for people who only differ from you, nothing more except your rotten heart.

It will never go away but I do not think it is supposed to. Things like this keep us human and aware of what comes to us all. I would give most of my time left just to spend a day with him.

There's a GiveSendGo in her future where thousands of hateful bigots will gladly send small donations that will not only cover this, but will provide for her and her 4th (5th? 6th?) husband.

It's a grift, nothing more. It's never been anything more. See: megachurch, the president, most of congress.
