Religious Right Will Pay Fines & Legal Expenses Of KY Clerk.

[TheMastersNemesis]

That clerk is making a great financial move. She will have all her expenses paid by RW religious fundamentalists. There will be a national fund for her and she will probably end up a millionaire with all the donations that will be sent. She will probably not see a single hour in jail because of the propaganda generated if she were jailed. It would justify the claim of religious persecution.

And religious persecution will be played 24/7 to bring the base out. And the GOP will be shouting from every roof top in support of the religious extremists. Of course the media will help as well.

1. Unless she can be sued into homelessness...that is what I would want to see happen

[hifiguy]

18. I see absolutely no reason she could not be sued into penury in a civil action,

and personally, not "in her capacity as". Because she has defied an unquestionably legitimate and lawful court order, the state would in all likelihood not be required to defend or reimburse her.

Let's see just how brave these witless jebus-wheezers really are when push comes to shove.

21. Had to look that one up, I like it...

pen·u·ry

extreme poverty, destitution, pennilessness, impecuniousness,

[Warpy]

2. At the very least, she'll get a makeover out of it

so she can attract husband #4.

Her Mama raised her right, she believes in marriage. Again and again.

Unless you're gay.

[Chan790]

5. Husband #5. n/t

[lame54]

6. I think it's #5

[Warpy]

11. Oh, my, her Mama really did raise her right

She believes in marriage, over and over and over again.

Unless you're gay.

Pity she's never read that book she keeps thumping. Jesus had a lot to say about divorced women and remarriage. He had nothing to say about gays...or abortions.

16. He also had plenty to say about not paying so much attention

to the mote in one's neighbor's eye while ignoring the beam in one's own.

[AuntPatsy]

3. I hope not

[RKP5637]

4. MSM will gladly cover it 7x24 as long as they see $$$$$'s in it for them. n/t

[yuiyoshida]

7. Don't forget that paid gig as a FOX NEWS spokeswoman

she may even get her own show!

[tblue37]

15. Not blonde, not pretty, not leggy. FOX won't have her on. Ailes admits he only hired Palin because

she was "hot" (his word) and because she got ratings. Even Greta van Sustern had to get a fair amount of plastic surgery to be considered acceptable on FOX.

8. That's alright

She'll have to pay taxes on all that donated money that doesn't go to her attorneys. And, from a jail cell.

[immoderate]

9. As long as she is removed, I DGAF about who the fundies want to lavish their riches on.

The crowd funding for bigots will wear out. As you point out, she has wedged herself into a windfall. Take it as a measure of how many feel they have 'lost' this one.

10. She's keeping the issue visible

She might as well be their employee, she's their point person, taking one for the team, keeping one of their pet hate issues visible as long as possible.

[NutmegYankee]

12. All that is required is a massive fine per day.

After awhile, donations won't keep up.

[MohRokTah]

19. I believe the federal amount is $10K/day. eom

[NutmegYankee]

22. I believe it can be higher in "serious" contempt.

[NutmegYankee]

23. From what I found, there is no set limit for "Civil Contempt"

Criminal contempt has set maximum fines, but civil just has to coerce the person into following the courts order.

[hifiguy]

20. Eeyup.

And a judge who has already been openly defied once is, I can guaran-damn-tee, a VERY unhappy judge.

[tblue37]

13. The couples she denied should sue her for a lot of money--plus lawyers' fees. nt

[markpkessinger]

14. They can certainly do that . . .

. . . and the IRS can certainly count it as taxable income to her.

[olddots]

17. she is as attractive as Henry The 8th.

has the morals of Amy Semple McPherson and she may be really good at miniture golf .
