Former county clerk had disputed lawyers’ fees for Kentucky couple who won $100,000 damages

Kim Davis, the former county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses in Kentucky to same-sex couples, must pay a total of $260,104 in fees and expenses to attorneys who represented one couple, according to a federal judge’s ruling.

That is in addition to $100,000 in damages a jury said the former Rowan county clerk should pay the couple who sued.

…

Davis drew international attention when she was briefly jailed in 2015 over her refusal despite the US supreme court’s legalization of same-sex marriage. She based her refusal on her belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.

    It would be a shame if GoFundMe was breached and everyone could see who donated to her. Maybe all of those people would suffer consequences for being huge assholes, too.

      I don’t think they’d care. In France the right fundraised a fucking million euros for a cop who shot a kid during a traffic stop, and they bragged about it.

      Being a huge asshole has become completely acceptable though unfortunately.
