Kim Davis, the Rowan County Clerk in Kentucky who denied a marriage license to a gay couple in 2015 after the Supreme Court made same-sex marriage legal nationwide, was just ordered to pay that gay couple $100k for violating their constitutional rights.

The gay couple sued her and a jury awarded each of the two men $50,000. Another gay couple sued her but they weren’t awarded anything.

Here’s more via the New York Post:

A federal jury awarded $100,000 to a gay couple who sued former Kentucky clerk Kim Davis over her notorious 2015 refusal to grant them a marriage license due to their sexual orientation.

Davis, who served as a Rowan County clerk at the time, was found guilty of violating the couple’s constitutional rights last year and even spent five days in the slammer in 2015 over her denial.

The ex-clerk refused to grant two couples marriage licenses — based on her own personal belief that marriage should only be between a man and woman rather than the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex marriage across the US the same year — and both couples sued her.

A jury in Ashland awarded one of the couples, David Ermold and David Moore, $50,000 per person on Wednesday, according to Davis’ lawyers.

The second couple, James Yates and Will Smith, were awarded no damages on Wednesday by US District Judge David Bunning.

Bunning was the same judge who sentenced Davis to jail in 2015 after holding her in contempt of court. She was let out five days later after her staffers issued the licenses themselves while removing her name from the documents.

Last year, Bunning ruled that Davis “cannot use her own constitutional rights as a shield to violate the constitutional rights of others while performing her duties as an elected official.”

And therein lies the problem. I’ve always said that when you give fabricated constitutional rights to gay couples you take actual constitutional rights away from Christians, which is is exactly what happened here. The attorneys for Davis plan to appeal this ruling and take it to the Supreme Court, assuming they’ll hear it. They denied hearing her appeal back in 2020.

The judge in this case is a George W. Bush appointee, in case you were wondering.
