Hate Group Continues To Flail Against Kim Davis Ruling

Via email from the Liberty Counsel:

Liberty Counsel filed a reply brief this week in Ermold v. Davis to the U.S. District Court of Eastern Kentucky supporting its previous motion to reverse the jury verdict against former Rowan County Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis who was sued by two same-sex couples for not issuing them marriage licenses.

The Ermold plaintiffs objected to the motion to reverse the verdict citing their emotional distress justified compensation. However, Liberty Counsel argues there was little evidence to support emotional damages and so the jury’s verdict should be reversed.

The Ermold plaintiffs asked for $50,000 each in damages and a jury awarded them a total of $100,000. Last December, Judge David Bunning awarded the plaintiffs an additional $246,000 in attorney’s fees and $14,000 in expenses.

If the motion is denied, Liberty Counsel will then appeal the case to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The evidence does not support the verdict. Because of Kim Davis, every clerk in Kentucky now has the freedom to serve without compromising their religious convictions and conscience.

If this case remains wrongly decided, it has the potential to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges and extend the same religious freedom protections beyond Kentucky to the whole nation.

There’s a lot more poutrage.
