Former county clerk had disputed lawyers’ fees for Kentucky couple who won $100,000 damages

Kim Davis, the former county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses in Kentucky to same-sex couples, must pay a total of $260,104 in fees and expenses to attorneys who represented one couple, according to a federal judge’s ruling.

That is in addition to $100,000 in damages a jury said the former Rowan county clerk should pay the couple who sued.

…

Davis drew international attention when she was briefly jailed in 2015 over her refusal despite the US supreme court’s legalization of same-sex marriage. She based her refusal on her belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.

      I hope so too, and their inability to try anything new is what gives me hope that it is indeed an extinction burst.

      Because extinction bursts are generally characterized by a “this is what worked before, we just have to do what worked before harder!” attitude, which generally seems to be the attitude the Christofascists have.

      They’re not selling any new ideas or changing tactics from what they have used in the past, it definitely seems like “just more of the same, but harder” because they don’t actually have any ideas. Which tracks as an extinction burst, imho.

      Which like, who expects a death cult to have any actual ideas?

        I agree, but I’m disappointed that so many follow that line, instead of most of them thinking this has gone too far. Where is the point where people begin to turn back to normalcy again? I sure hope the extinction burst doesn’t include a full fledged fascist christian dictatorship, that may take decades to turn back from.
