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.

      Apparently not, still on the fourth one to the second husband.

      Honestly this is the kicker for me

      Shortly after the same-sex marriage license controversy, Davis said she and her husband switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.

      At least they recognized their true nature.

      Everyone likes to point out that she was divorced a lot, but can you blame her? She probably had dudes beating down her door to go out with her.

      What guy doesn’t want to hook up with an angry clerk with a pompadour and baggy overalls. She’s got that “you’re in the wrong line” DMV hotness that everyone fantasizes about.
