From the Liberty Counsel:
Do Americans have equal rights, or do LGBTQ “rights” supersede everyone else’s rights? That’s a central question in the Kim Davis case. Liberty Counsel has filed with the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, asking the court for an “en banc” review of Kim Davis’ case, meaning that we are asking ALL the judges to weigh in on this case. And the Sixth Circuit has already indicated that this case presents legal issues of “first impression” that need to be answered by the U.S. Supreme Court.
A judge threw Kim Davis in jail for following Kentucky state law and for refusing to relinquish her First Amendment right to religious freedom. That same judge wrongfully approved a 360,000-dollar judgment against Kim, effectively rewarding David Ermold and David Moore for a decade of harassment against Kim Davis.
We appealed that ruling, and although the court ruled against Kim, the court admitted that our case is one of “first impression,” meaning it presents a novel issue for which there is no specific legal precedent from the U.S. Supreme Court to help decide the case. In other words, the judges effectively admitted they need the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in on this matter.
Read the full article. Pertinent to today’s big news, you will recall that Liberty Counsel president Mat Staver once attempted to spring Kim Davis on an unaware Pope Francis during his US visit. The pope quickly shitcanned the Vatican flack who engineered the stunt. The linked article contains the usual money beg, which as always features a “challenge grant” from a never-named supporter.
