Kentucky Gov. Beshear Says Kim Davis' Conflict Is "Between Her And The Courts"

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear

Rogue County Clerk Kim Davis continues to cool her heels in the hoosegow in Rowan County as her lawyers file an motion to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals appealing her contempt of court charges.

Her lawyers have also asked Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear to "exempt" her from having to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples until the state legislature can convene in January and perhaps pass legislation removing the names of county clerks from marriage licenses.

Beshear's answer was to say he has no intention of responding to the request saying the conflict was a "matter between her and the courts."

Most legal analysts say Davis' team has little to no chance of receiving any kind of respite from the 6th Circuit.

In other "Kim Davis" news - the much anticipated crowd-sourcing campaign to raise money for Davis was launched over the holiday weekend, but so far it hasn't grown into the vast windfall other anti-gay folks have seen. At this writing the fund has raised less than $6,000.

I guess Davis will have to look to a book deal to make her martyr millions.
