Volaris
(10,274 posts)That the Kentucky taxpayers who put her in office in the first place shouldn't have to foot the bill...because she was violating the law when she refused to issue the marriage certificates .
Money. The only thing that can come between a Republican and their God.
Lol.
I agree with the poster stating her church should pick up the tab.
Or, Mitch McConnell...he's ROLLING in Dirty Russian Mob-State Money.

(10,048 posts)She should sue those that used her and urged her on for political gain claiming she would be rewarded for doing "God's work". Abuse of the mentally challenged.

(43,049 posts)No! Absolutely no taxpayers paying her bills for refusing to do her job. Maybe some sympathy if she quite her job over her beliefs, but not for not doing it.
Pass the hat around her "supporters" who yapped and clamored but can't be found when the bills are due.

Lots of dixiecrats in KY hung on to the D long after others in the south made the switch to R; don't ask me why. Takes a little longer to reach some of the more remote hills'n'hollers.

And I'd never let Ted Cruz put his filthy mitts anywhere near me. Even the freedom caucus rethugs hate Cruz.

No one likes Cruz and the other two would end up hating each other as well. Too much alike.

(1,020 posts)Tough toenails. She brought gahd into this, maybe gahd can do a bake sale (of 420 Yeah!) on her behalf.
This is how the rethugs think. Dems have to pay fines, but not rethugs, bc they gots gahd on their side, which makes them Right! lol

(21,625 posts)wants the government to cover her legal bill for defying the government?????????????????????
WTF?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
What next are robbers going to start demanding banks pay their legal bills????????????
Have a tall frosty glass of "go fuck yourself", Kim!
Iggo
(47,565 posts)Well, when you put it that way, sure it sounds bad.
Volaris
(10,274 posts)In one place, it wouldn't be possible to rob them, now would it?
Banks having money is just a False Flag...you dumb libs need to get woke

you didn't serve the taxpayers. Taxpayers are allowed to marry and you didn't serve them - so they shouldn't serve you.
no_hypocrisy
(46,190 posts)This is the act of desperate attorneys who know that their client lacked the funds before they filed their complaint. And while they likely asked for Attorneys Fees as part of their "Prayer" (no pun intended), AF are considered only if you win the controversy. She lost.
There is no legal precedence to award Attorneys Fees if you're on a "Mission from God". If this were reversed on appeal, it would encourage a plethora of (mostly) frivolous actions based on someone's religious views being offended or someone not being allowed to "freely" practice their religion.

(25,895 posts)She needs to be confronted by this at every turn.
I am so freaking tired of the hypocrisy of those who claim to be Christians, of those who claim that agnostics or atheists cannot possibly be moral because they don't kow-tow to the punishment ethic of their version of Christianity.
Most non believers I know live vastly more moral lives than the out-there-in-front-of-you Christians will ever live.
