    The audacity of Karens everywhere, ugh. So many of them. All of these smug little Karens think they have to personally approve all aspects of their job, instead of, you know, shutting the hell up and doing their JOB. Without any protest and any comments, thank you very much.

    It’s like those entitled and self-important male pharmacists in some states thinking they get to be a moral check on decisions made by a patient and a doctor. Count out the pills and ring it up, FFS.

      If you want to be even more outraged, I believe this “brave defender of the sanctity of marriage” has been divorced 4 times now and is also a “born again” Christian meaning these are, to her, newly found beliefs that she’s trying to force on everyone else while she doesn’t even abide by them in her own personal life.

    Davis then appealed, claiming that she should have been able to cite as a defense her right to the free exercise of religion under the Constitution’s First Amendment.

    If practicing your faith requires you to illegally block someone else practicing their faith then no, you don’t get to use that as a defense. Your First Amendment rights do not supercede other peoples First Amendment rights.

    This is probably why the court declined to hear it. Her claim is so absurd that it doesn’t mean the minimum requirement for them to overturn Obergefell. They are probably waiting on another case to come along with a more reasoned argument.

      You nailed it with that last sentence. Based on their recent (emergency and normal) rulings, that’s the plan.

    Your 15 minutes of game is over, Kim Davies. Stop trying to milk it. Go back under your bridge, you miserable little troll.

      Every lawsuit is another two years of speaking engagements with far-right Christian outlets!

    Freedom of religion does not mean you can infringe other peoples rights just because your religion tells you to.

    My religion requires free access to ganja, any law interfering with that is a violation of my religious freedom!

    the defense attorney: my client “now faces crippling monetary damages based on nothing more than purported hurt feelings”

    Which was quite literally the reasoning behind going out of your way to block someone else you don’t even know nor will interact with beyond the 3 mins of paperwork you’re required by law to do, from getting married.

    Time to pay up for being a bitch.

    No need to demean her looks when there are so many other reasons. The fact that she refused to do her job because of her faith, or that she thought that her beliefs were somehow more important than the people that she refused to help. Ugly down to the bone, a hateful shitbird.
