"We look forward to appealing this decision for Kim Davis," said Mat Staver, an attorney for Davis. "We will argue religious accommodation under the First Amendment, and other state and federal laws. We will also argue that Obergefell v. Hodges was wrongly decided and should be overturned."

So actual religious oligarchy and removal of civil rights is what her lawyer is arguing for. Imagine if a mail carrier didn't have to deliver mail because they didn't religiously believe in credit card offers or electric bills.

I believe her council is in fact paid for by a Christian group so yeah, of course that's his goal.

But she's already been found guilty of violating a court order, this is just deciding how much she owes the couple from the previous guilty verdict.

Should have been $200k

The district court found Davis personally liable in both cases, but only awarded damages in one.

Tbh I wish life (preferably in the form of a high speed public train) would come at her even faster

don't bother; there will always be another who will gleefully take her place.

That doesn't deal with the issue of her being awful right now. 🍛
