Proof The Bible Is True

Three judges on the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals have refused Rowan County, Kentucky, Clerk Kim Davis’ request for an injunction against the Kentucky governor in her effort to obtain additional accommodations of her Christian-based objections to issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

But judges John Rogers, Bernice Donald and Damon Keith left alive her lawsuit, which will be assigned to a panel.

Judge David Bunning previously sent her to jail for nearly a week for not following his order to resume issuing marriage licenses. Her deputies agreed to issue the licenses, with Davis’ name redacted, when Bunning threatened them with jail.

In the latest ruling, the 6th Circuit judges wrote that the “balance of the equities involved does not support the issuance of an injunction pending appeal.”

They also opined that she “has not demonstrated a substantial likelihood of success.”

But they also wrote that a “merits panel” would need to look at the actual arguments in the case, so it was not being dismissed.

The judges also said that they would not address Davis’ claims under the Kentucky Constitution and the Kentucky Religious Freedom Restoration Act, saying a state court needs to review the claims.“

Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel said in a statement to WND that the case now will move forward with a full briefing and oral arguments against the governor.
