Holding out for a hero

They certainly did interpret it correctly when they gave G W Bush the presidency. I'm sure you will agree.

Are you claiming that the Supreme Court is biased in favour of Republicans?

Not only that, but he supporting the action which gave Idiot Bush the presidency which was as close to being a coup as is possible in the USA.

Kim Davis is back at work and still doing the Kevin the Teenager act - refusing to grant marriage licences to same-sex couples with her name on them, although she is prepared to have her deputies do it:

There seems to be some doubt however that this is even legal:

Davis' work-around - not to sign licenses but not to interfere with her deputies if they do so - produced more questions than answers.

She acknowledged she is not sure about the legality of licenses altered in such a way.

... she has offered what she considers an interim solution, but it is unclear if it passes legal muster.

U.S. District Judge David Bunning "indicated last week that he was willing to accept altered marriage licenses even though he was not certain of their validity," Davis said. "I, too, have great doubts whether the license issued under these conditions are even valid."

Davis was clear on one thing: She will not sign any marriage licenses for same-sex couples, and her deputies are not authorized to issue them either.

But, she added, if her deputies go against her orders and provide marriage certificates to same-sex couples anyway, she will not take any action against them.

So, is Davis continuing to defy the order from the judge? Even experts said they weren't sure at first glance.

CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said that Kentucky law might allow for a deputy's signature to be valid on a marriage license, even without the clerk's consent. But if the documents are altered to remove Davis' name and title, a court may have to rule on their validity.

The modified marriage licenses are effectively in limbo, Mihet said, as it is unclear if they are legal.
