The attorney general was the one who said he thought they are valid, the governor said they will be honored by the state with no qualifier. I guess someone could sue to try to block that but if the governor says they will be recognized then they will be.

Exactly what I was thinking. She was clearly begging for attention last time she got out of jail. But that time, it was only a weekend in a cell, and it wrapped up with a party held in her honor. I don't think she even considered how much more severe the repercussions would be for a repeat offense.

The governor and ag can control lawsuits they bring but they have no control over private suits. Standing/summary judgments will be an issue for almost every conceivable suit except for perhaps probated estates. There is the potential for litigation there in cases, for example, such as a spouse dieing without a will and his/her children from a prior marriage contest the same sex marriage as being invalid due to a bad marriage license. I can't see that going anywhere but it would eat up lawyer fees since you are dealing with country judges who may listen to those arguments.

Idk, she falsified documents but jail seems to harsh for breaking the law.
That plus she did it for Jesus. Like that time I killed the homeless dude, when Jesus tells you to start mailing out organs you mail out organs. Then they want to call ME a monster. Yeah, ok at least I'm not oppressing religious liberties, DAD.

Yes, politicians will uphold the document until they don't.

It's amazing that even after this, she'll probably still have her job, unless the judge decides to actually do something.
Think of all the things that you could do at your job, maybe somethings that you've been tempted to do, that would get you fired immediately.
And compare it to this woman.
When are people going to learn!?
Democracy doesn't work!

it works fine, but it doesn't always provide instant gratification. Learn some patience.

It was a Simpson's joke, but I couldn't find a gif.
my mistake.Haven't watched the Simpsons in decades.
Meaning at least 20 years? But how?
I'd rather be hearing about this again than the farce of a debate that provided a night of entertainment.
If you're not drinking so much you wake up and don't remember the debate, you're doing it wrong.
Probably around that long. I stopped watching a couple seasons after Conan O'Brien left the show. That's not to say I haven't seen bits and pieces of it here and there (and I did see the terrible movie), but I probably haven't watched an episode of the show in 20 years.
Same. My memories of the Simpsons are all tied to the first ~5 seasons or so.

my mistake.
I think this is the same for most Simpsons fans, though I still feel guilty for not having seen like 10 seasons, I still try to catch up on the Tree House of Horrors. It's sad to see them no longer relevant.

Severe consequences are in order. That last thing we need is for this old bat to galvanize other bigoted government employees.
Hey, that happened to me too. I know it was Jesus because the voice said "Keep all the sweetmeats for yourself, my son. And any soft tissues that catch your eye." The memory of his generosity moves me to this day. And the flesh was delicious.

I had to stop reading this link, my brain was priming for detonation.
Conan was on the Simpsons for seasons 4&5.
Kent Brockman's "Democracy simply doesn't work" was from season 6, still well within the range of Simpsons seasons that were good.
You should know that Democracy doesn't work.

No it's exactly contempt.
Well, she altered documents that were already printed/signed:
I'm guessing that's indeed some felony or at least a crime worst than just contempt.

I wonder if she can be sued by the people who had their licenses given to them by her deputies. Seams like she can receive actual action from the people she was effecting, not just from the judge, since she altered legal documents.

You should probably read the FAQ in the OP.

Harrison Ford literally got handed that job and Indy because others didn't want to do it. He seethes at the thought of being a nerd icon. His hate of acting is palpable in movies with lesser directors.Not sure if posted.

Well that's not true there were lots of people auditioning for Han Solo but he filled in for an audition read and got the job based on that.
If the state fails to act then the federal government should threaten to cut all funding to the state of Kentucky. They'll fold in an instant.
Read the F...ohhhhyou!
You don't think him being a no name already on set didn't affect anything? Budget? I'm not saying he can't do his job, but his hate of it and his fame is no secret.
Yeah of course but that's not getting handed the job if they were actively looking for someone else. It's being in the right place at the right time. Plenty of people do audition reads and nothing comes of it so he still had to show his ability to get the job just like any actor.
Yeah, the Deputy Clerk being represented here is Brian Mason seen here on the left of this picture shaking the hands of a same-sex couple after he gave them their marriage licenses.
Brian going Alpha!
They should give Davis job to him.

listen to the mad man
For some reason, political nuts of all stripes are obsessed with Notaries Public. There's always a notary involved when someone is doing some quack thing. Alien abductions, nonsense inventions, bizarre lawsuits against celebrities for sending telepathic mind waves through their films.

Everybody was fine with the judge's orders except for her own son. There's no reason to think everyone there is on her side.
I don't. My armchair psychoanalysis is (other deputies happy to let Brian take point on issuing the marriage licenses) + (Davis says he's a good employee / Mason says he has a good work relationship with Davis) = Brian probably maintains good work relationships and may be the most socially engaged person in the office.

This would most likely escalate the support backlash on the right as well. We have to trust the States to handle some things.
