Yesterday, Judge Bunning put an expiration date on a temporary hold he placed on his ruling, allowing Davis time to file an appeal with the 6th Circuit. And finally, yesterday, after waiting a week while she refused to issue marriage licenses, Davis' attorneys at Liberty Counsel filed an emergency motion.
That motion asks the 6th Circuit to stay Judge Bunning's ruling ordering her to issue marriage licenses to all couples, regardless of gender.
And it's is a doozy.
Despite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that finds no intrinsic difference in marriages between same-sex and different-sex couples, Liberty Counsel actually insists on continuing to use scare quotes around the word "marriage" when it is preceded by the words "same-sex." It's a desperate and juvenile act of defiance.

And I thought I was padding my work.
I'll sum it up for you: "can't they find some other lunch counter that will serve them?"

Considering her attorney's business is essentially a step away from being labeled a hate group, they're at least earning that title with motions like this.

Kim, you moron, you're a pencil pusher. Do your job or find another line of work.
