Breaking – Federal Judge Denies Kim Davis Request: ‘Inconsistent With Basic Principles Of Justice’

Kim Davis once again has been rejected by the federal court system, with the judge Wednesday tossing out her motion.

U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning late Wednesday afternoon denied a motion filed by Kim Davis‘ Liberty Counsel attorneys to have his ruling apply only to the couples who sued her. Davis asked the court to not have its decision requiring her to issue marriage licenses to all couples, regardless of gender, not be applied across the board.

In his response, Judge Bunning explained that to deny other couples the same rights as those who filed the lawsuit “would not only create piecemeal litigation, it would be inconsistent with basic principles of justice and fairness,” as Reuters reports.

Bunning also noted that by not specifying that his ruling applies to all couples, he would have “left other eligible couples at the mercy of Davis’ ‘no marriages policy.’”

In Davis’ motion, filed nearly two weeks ago, her attorneys claimed Bunning’s refusal to rule in her favor has permitted “immediate and irreparable injury to her individual religious liberty and free speech rights.”

Her attorneys also claimed Davis is “facing immediate and substantial harm and consequences for exercising her individual constitutional and statutory rights.”

Judge Bunning today denied those claims, stating her “argument is unpersuasive because Davis has created her own risk of harm by violating a valid order issued by this court.”

“As for the public interest, the court simply notes that the public has an interest in the enforcement of valid court orders,” Bunning noted.

This is one of a great many rejections Davis has received from every level of the federal court system, from Judge Bunning’s district court, to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The ACLU this week requested Judge Bunning to force Davis to use unaltered marriage forms, after one of Davis’ deputy clerks told his court-appointed attorney he was concerned the marriage licenses he is issuing may not be valid because Davis removed her name and the name of the county from them. 

The judge has yet to rule on that motion.
