I actually think this story is a preview of the new way to relieve gullible Christians of their money: Take up an anti-social cause with a hard religious stance, claim only God judges, then collect donations from those who want you to "fight back", except I think she's gonna pocket all this cash herself and those people will be giving her money for nothing.
Oh, and she's been married 4 times....

A county clerk in Kentucky has again refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, invoking her religious beliefs and "God's authority" — this time in defiance of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling against her.
On Tuesday morning, Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis remained in her office, door and blinds closed, as the first licenses were denied. But she emerged just a few minutes later, telling the couples and activists gathered there that her office still won't issue licenses "under God's authority."
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to intervene in the case, leaving Davis no legal grounds to refuse to grant the licenses. A district judge could now hold her in contempt of court, which can carry steep fines or jail time.
But lawyers for the two gay couples who originally sued in the case said in a motion Tuesday that they want Davis punished with only financial penalties — no jail time.
The motion to U.S. District Judge David Bunning says the couples "regrettably" seek to hold the clerk in contempt but "do not seek to compel Davis' compliance through incarceration."
Bunning will probably hold a hearing for the couples to present evidence, which could include testimony from Davis.
As an elected official, Davis can't be fired
