LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A county clerk in Kentucky who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples last year is asking a federal judge not to make her pay legal fees for the couples who sued her.

Attorneys for the couples who sued Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis asked U.S. District Judge David Bunning to award them about $233,000 in legal fees and costs.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reports Davis’ lawyers urged Bunning in a response Monday to deny the request.

Roger K. Gannam of Liberty Counsel, the religious advocacy organization that represented Davis, wrote that the case was resolved in the legislature and the couples aren’t entitled to legal fees. Jeffrey C. Mando, a Rowan County attorney, said in a separate response that the county government shouldn’t be forced to pay anything.

1. does anything this lying hypocrite does surprise any of us??

[Siwsan]

2. Weren't there some 'go fund me' type accounts set up for her?

If so, it would be interesting to see an accounting of how that money has been spent.

3. Nothing the legislature did mitigates the damages caused to people by Kim Davis and her bigotry.

Davis was sued for her bigotry, and for her actions. She should be made to pay.

4. Maybe she can go ask Mike Huckabee for that money. After all, he was all too willing to pose for

pictures with her back when all this first started.





Oh, and Ted Cruz too. He's another "me-too" dude.




Just send Huckabee a bill for $200,000. Ask Cruz for about $25,000 for his 'support'.


See how much that "Christian" Huckabee is willing to help a fellow "Christian" in need.

5. Her husband

He looks so uncomfortable in those overalls and that ridiculous hat. Dressed that way to appeal to rural folk? It seems so staged and fake.

[jmowreader]

12. That can't be the reason, because rural folk don't dress like that

REAL rural folk wear baseball caps with the logo of something agricultural, like an equipment manufacturer or a seed supplier, printed on them. They're called Gimme Caps, because that's how you get them: "Hey, gimme one of those caps."

They also don't wear those stupid fucking bib overalls either. They wear canvas work pants - either Carhartt or Ben Davis - or jeans.

Dressing like a stereotypical hillbilly isn't fooling anyone.

[Saviolo]

14. Talk about being out of touch

Y'know, the thing they accuse those "elite ivory tower educated liberals" of being?

Completely out of touch with the "common man." Whatever the hell that means any more.

[obamanut2012]

15. Exactly -- Carhartt and jeans

Ball caps, flannel shirts and t-shirts, wool caps, boots and wellies. Shorts and sneakers. Carhatt jackets, lined jean jackets, etc.

They do not look like a Central Casting bumpkin.

[jmowreader]

19. We have three farm supply stores here

None of them stock overalls.

[obamanut2012]

24. I know Tractor Supply doesn't

Loads of Carhatt and other brands.

[awoke_in_2003]

27. And not every one in rural areas

can afford to buy Carhartt clothing. Their stuff is not cheap- I know because I own enough of their stuff. It is very well made and durable, but that come with a hefty price tag.

[jmowreader]

29. The less-well-off get canvas pants from other places

IIRC Walmart carries them.

[awoke_in_2003]

26. Yes...

some people in rural areas where bib overalls. Because you haven't seen it doesn't mean they don't.

[safeinOhio]

9. Huckabuck would be more than

happy to. After all he was willing to take her place in jail.

[riversedge]

11. Both Cruz and Hucky should step up pay the bills. They were both so eager for the photo ops!

[closeupready]

16. Was going to post that. Would give Huck a chance to talk "gay sex" again,

which he'd thoroughly enjoy, I'm sure, as he usually does, cracking wise and chuckling about it all.

[awoke_in_2003]

25. Surely Ted and Mike

can't reach out and get this money raised. Hmm, where are they now? Oh yeah, as far away from her as possible.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. She calculated that her moral stance was worth it

Now, not so much?

Many things are just too expensive to fight

Avoid court whenever you can even if it involves realizing
you can't control the behavior of others nor the prescriptions
of the state

God will forgive you

All others pay cash

[SDJay]

8. Won't Matter

Even if this hateful asshole gets stuck with the bill, a quick GoFundMe campaign will have other hateful assholes sending money in to pay it off for her.

[Blue Idaho]

10. If only god would send Kim a sign...

Did you say $233,000?

[spiderpig]

28. A rainbow would be nice.

[Cryptoad]

18. I thought Trump promise to pay her fines

[grabber]

22. Trump didnt like the job they did so he stiffed them

[keithbvadu2]

21. Kim is an out and out thief.

Kim is an out and out thief.

She took money for a job she refused to do.

[Norbert]

23. Matt Bevin will kiss her ass and come to her defense
