Kim Davis Ordered to Pay Over $250K for Denying Same-Sex Marriage Licenses
TL;DR Summary
Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who gained national attention in 2015 for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, has been ordered by a federal judge to pay $260,000 in attorneys' fees and expenses. This is in addition to a previous jury decision that required her to pay $100,000 in damages to the couple she denied. The case has been ongoing since the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. Davis's legal team, Liberty Counsel, plans to appeal the ruling, arguing for her First Amendment rights and challenging the Obergefell decision itself.
