[Contest] Guess when Kim Davis relents and leaves prison!

All I know about the bible comes from WWE, and I don't even remember what Austin 3:16 says. Something about drinking lots of beer I think.
 
Latest in my local paper. The bolded part is mine.

...
"The motion requests an injunction pending appeal for an exemption from the Governor's mandate that all county clerks issue marriage licenses," said the statement by Liberty Counsel, which is representing Davis...
Davis could be released from jail immediately if the motion were granted by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ordering Beshear to issue Davis an "accommodation" — allowing her to remove her name and title from official marriage certificates issued in Rowan County...
(Davis) has said she will not issue marriage licenses until the state legislature changes the law so the licenses can be issued under someone else's authority.
The state legislature is not scheduled to meet again until January and Beshear has refused to call a special session. Davis has refused to resign her $80,000-a-year job. As an elected official the only way she could lose her job is to lose an election or have the state legislature impeach her, which is unlikely given the conservative nature of the state General Assembly.

I know, right? I love how her husband is all like, "She will never give up! She'll stay in jail forever!"

He's just glad she's gone.

And the winning date is....TODAY!! Tuesday, September 8. So...I win!

Not sure what changed in the mind of the judge. She's still unrepentant and will continue to fail to do her job. In my opinion, she should have stayed there until SHE said she was ready to leave.

According to the ABC article, the judge is releasing her because the court is of the opinion that the clerks office is doing its duty - because while Davis was in jail, her assistants issued marriage licenses to all eligible parties. How they think that isn't going to change when they put her back in charge, I don't know.

Unfortunately, that would be a waste of tax payer money. Unless there is a way to use her salary to pay for her incarceration...which is probably illegal and unethical.

I don't think you win, Dave:
That was under the assumption that she would have to recant. I guess I should have said, "The date that she is announced to leave jail."[DOUBLEPOST=1441739163,1441739146][/DOUBLEPOST]In any event, I now have to choose a charity to donate $25.

Under Sharia Law consumption of alcohol (or any other intoxicant) is forbidden, punishable by flogging (with hanging considered for repeat offenders). No idea how "aiding and abetting" works, though.

Only some interpretations of Sharia - notably Wahabist and another one I'm forgetting the name of.
The Quran states it's wrong to cloud your senses, because you're still responsible for what actions you performed or sins you committed while inebriated - be it drugs, alcohol, painkillers, whatever. Anything that can alter or cloud your (moral) judgement is wrong. Basically, "drinking and driving is wrong" and "if you get drunk and sleep with an ugly woman, it's your own damn fault".

It's a similar reasoning that leads some Christian denominations to refuse full sedation (Jehova's Witnesses for example).

The more "average" interpretation is that it is wrong to get drunk/high/wasted/whatever. Some more liberal forms take it to "drink if you want to, but not to excess, and be prepared to accept the consequences".
 
Argh, well her release is contingent on her not interfering with the marriage licenses, so if she does block them again, she will be sent right back for contempt. This time she probably wouldn't be let out again.
 
Obviously she's trash and it sucks that this is starting again, but at least I'd bet most of the huge backlog of gay people waiting forever has been taken care of.
 
And I'm assuming this was the same type of thinking that got her released from jail. They're figuring that all those icky homosexuals that needed a marriage license now have what they need, and there won't be any more problems from here on out.

But now the fun begins. Rowan County is now going to become a hotspot for gay couples to come get their licenses.

1) Couples who come because they want to prove a point
2) Similar couples who want to force her to relent - revenge. Similar to the type of couples who want to force the bakery to make their cake just because fuck them/
3) Couples who want the prestige of a license from Rowan County KY.
 
I don't think those are really all that similar.
Similar in the fact that there are currently 117 out of 120 counties in the state of KY that will issue the marriage license, not to mention the rest of the US. Just go to one of those places. It's much easier here in Lexington to spend 15 minutes to go downtown for a license than to drive an hour away to get one from Rowan County. Unless you live in Rowan County, you're actually making it harder on yourself if you go there for a license.

Likewise there are literally dozens of bakeries that will make a cake for a gay wedding, but you* want one from the one bakery 200 miles away that won't make it for religious objections. Just go to the bakery down the street & get your cake.

Look, I get it. She is being used as a guinea pig here. There are quite a few county clerks here in KY (& I'm sure the rest of the country) who are watching with interest hoping this is their loophole to still refuse gay marriages. Which is why the hammer needs to come down hard here. The appeals process would appear to have run it's course & there is nothing left but stall tactics & willful contempt of court. So drop the hammer & let her rot in jail. Impose some serious fines too, enough to put a dent in the donation coffers.

Point being, there are attention seekers on both sides of the fence here, and they are feeding off each other.

*no one in particular

.
Or similar to the type of black person who forces Woolworths to let them sit at a whites-only lunch counter just because fuck them?

Fuck those guys, amirite? They should have just gone to the designated black service counter Woolworths already provided for them! Or another business! But instead they demanded the owners of Woolworths go against their beliefs in racial segregation and serve them equally. I bet they didn't even want that sandwich, they just wanted attention!

:rolleyes:
 
You know, I believe in the rights this country was founded upon. Freedom of religion etc etc, separation of church and state etc etc.
Hit her with a brick. and in this case I mean a brick of "you were elected to a post where your religious beliefs mean jack shit all because as a government official you must uphold the government's laws which are none bias toward religion, do your got or get hit in the head with a brick"
