桃子视频Praises Contempt Order Maintained Against Kim Davis
桃子视频Says Decision is Reminder to Other Government Officials to Enforce Law, Not Place Themselves Above it
KENTUCKY 鈥� A federal appeals court today dismissed Kim Davis鈥檚 appeals in the Rowan County marriage licensing case. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Miller v. Davis left in place the order that found Davis in contempt.
桃子视频LGBT Project Staff Attorney Ria Tabacco Mar has this comment:
鈥淜entucky鈥檚 new marriage law goes into effect this Friday, allowing all loving couples to obtain marriage licenses in the state without fear of discrimination. In light of the changes to the law, the court correctly dismissed Kim Davis鈥檚 appeals. Notably, however, the court kept in place a lower court order that found Ms. Davis in contempt for defying the law and denying our clients the marriage licenses they were legally promised. We鈥檙e pleased that the appeals court kept that decision on the books: It will serve as a reminder to other government officials that placing their personal views ahead of the Constitution and the rule of law is not acceptable.鈥�
