Hate Group To Seek Rehearing After Kim Davis Loss

Via email from hate group leader Mat Staver:



Liberty Counsel will request a rehearing en banc from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of former Rowan County, Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis, regarding her qualified immunity defense under the First Amendment and religious freedom rights in the cases of Ermold v. Davis and Yates v. Davis.

The Sixth Circuit agreed with U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning in denying qualified immunity. However, the appeals court only addressed qualified immunity and did not address any other defense, such as religious freedom accommodation.

Liberty Counsel will request the full Court of Appeals to review the ruling, and if the full Court agrees that the matter of religious accommodation is not ripe for review, Liberty Counsel will proceed to trial raising not only qualified immunity, that the right was not clearly established, but also raise religious freedom, among other defenses.
