Kim Davis victory! New gov to drop clerk names from marriage licenses

The governor-elect in Kentucky – a conservative Republican who stunningly rallied from behind to defeat a powerful Democrat candidate, the state’s attorney general – says one of his first acts will be to formalize an accommodation for county clerks whose religious beliefs are being violated by demands they issue “same-sex marriage” licenses.

Matt Bevin on Friday confirmed he will work on a solution in a situation that came to a head for Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis when she refused an order from U.S. District Judge David Bunning to violate her faith and issue “same-sex marriage” licenses and he sent her to jail.

At Kentucky.com, AP reported Bevin “vowed to remove the names of county clerks from marriage licenses.”

Officials with Liberty Counsel, who have been representing Davis, and continue to fight her appeals at the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, said it is a clear victory for Davis.

So the governments solution is not to address the problem but to remove the person who has a problem from having to resolve the problem. Nobody has won anything here. The problem still exists.
