Reagan appointed judge: "If nobody’s going to enforce the Constitution, it becomes like the Constitution of Russia." Genuine conservatives within the judiciary stand as one of the final bulwarks against authoritarian rule in America.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift. It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

BREAKING: Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who refused to issue same-sex couples' marriage licenses, loses her appeal at the Sixth Circuit of a lawsuit she lost at trial that was brought by same-sex couples whose constitutional right to marry she violated. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT
DAVID ERMOLD; DAVID MOORE,
Plaintiffs-Appellees,
No. 24-5524
V.
KIM DAVIs, individually,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky at Ashland.
No. 0:15-cv-00046-David L. Bunning, District Judge.
Argued: January 30, 2025
Decided and Filed: March 6, 2025
Before: WHITE, READLER, and MATHIS, Circuit Judges.

OPINION
HELENE N. WHITE, Circuit Judge. Defendant-Appellant Kim Davis, in her capacity as the clerk of Rowan County, Kentucky, refused to issue a marriage license to Plaintiffs-Appellees David Moore and David Ermold. Plaintiffs sued Davis under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, claiming that Davis violated their constitutional right to marry. After several interlocutory appeals, the district court entered judgment for Plaintiffs on liability and a jury awarded them compensatory damages. Davis now appeals, arguing that she is entitled to qualified immunity, that she has affirmative defenses to liability under the Free Exercise Clause and the Kentucky Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and that Plaintiffs' evidence of their emotional distress was insufficient to support the jury's award. We AFFIRM.
