http://www.webpronews.com/kim-davis-closes-clerk-office-for-computer-upgrades-as-protesters-gather-2015-08Kim Davis, the County Clerk in Kentucky who has made national headlines for refusing to abide by national law and grant marriage licenses to gay couples, pulled a fast one today.
After a federal appeals court upheld a lower court ruling ordering her to grant the marriage licenses, Kim Davis still refused to do so. Rather than face protestors and media, Kim Davis and her underlings closed the clerks office in Rowan County. Davis had a sign posted on the door announcing that the office was closed for computer upgrades. She and her staff hustled past protestors gathered outside and drove away.
Davis has said that she has asked the court to extend the stay granted her when the lower court ruling was under appeal. That stay was to expire when the federal court weighed in, which it has.
Mat Staver, founder of the Liberty Counsel that represents Davis, said he believes the judges order is still delayed until August 31. Staver announced that he intends to file an emergency petition with the Supreme Court to keep the whole affair going for potentially several more months.

You are right, she is in a win win. She could start up a gofundme, what the right

I think there are a few tape-drive jobs still hanging around in the Remington warehouse.

I wish there was a way for her to pay, dearly, financially.

Hounded by the evil gays who are taking away her religious liberties.

I can't imagine being so consumed with hate to the point where this seems reasonable to her.

Thus showing definite proof of the bad faith in which Ms. Davis is acting.

I was getting a little confused. Thanks for that.

and Ms. Davis is just doing whatever they tell her to do.
