So if they are issuing licences they have intentionally rendered invalid, and accepting payment for them… Isn’t that some form of fraud? I did a Google search and I see the licences cost around $37.00. If a couple paid for that licence, and then got married,and then the office that issued it said it was invalid, would they have to refund the cost of the licence? Weddings can cost tens of thousands of dollars too - would a couple whose licence was intentionally invalidated have any recourse to recoup the costs of their wedding?

This old thing? Why, I’ve had it for ages. I don’t know if it would look good on you, you’re such an autumn. But try it on, do. Hm… Maybe we could run up the hem…

Shows what you know, when I suck cock I don’t take so long that I’d need a set of kneepads. Maybe you’re just really bad at it.

Looks like JAYSUS is spreading.

[Wall Street Journal](http://www.wsj.com/articles/other-state-officials-say-no-to-same-sex-marriage-1442161531)

> [@](#):

> In North Carolina, all four magistrates in rural McDowell County have recused themselves from performing civil wedding ceremonies for any couples. The moves are allowed under a state law passed in June that allows certain public officials to avoid marriage duties if they have religious objections. So far, 32 magistrates across the state—about 5% of the total—have done so, according to the state Administrative Office of the Courts.

Well, that’s not quite the same because any notary can marry you. But fuck those guys.

Her appeal on the ‘scope change’ has been denied -

[QUOTE=[http://www.lex18.com/story/30058632/clerk-kim-davis-loses-another-appeal-in-gay-marriage-case](http://www.lex18.com/story/30058632/clerk-kim-davis-loses-another-appeal-in-gay-marriage-case)]

Davis’ lawyers now argue that the order should apply only to named couples, meaning Davis would not have to license gay marriages while the case remains pending. The 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals scrapped that request Thursday.

I imagine the appeals court has a single trash can sitting by itself in the corner of the room with the words “Kim Davis’ Bullshit” on the side.

Which one stated “engaged in discrimination against heterosexuals in favor of homosexuals, engaged in discrimination of religious people, particularly Christians, in favor of godless atheists.”

Well that’s interesting. We expected someone would question the validity of the licenses, but I for one didn’t expect it would come from within her office. This was done as part of the “keep the judge updated” requirement and [here](https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2427509/mason-filing.pdf) is a pdf of the filing.

I think Brian Mason deserves a round of applause, he seems to have been trying to follow the law and issue licenses all along. According to his filing, he is now the only one issuing licenses so the others don’t have to be stressed about it, although the others are ready to issue them in his absence.

This guy needs to run for County Clerk.
