Kim Davis Attorney: ‘She Is a Prisoner of Her Conscience ... Has No Intention of Resigning’
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
"We just had a good visit with Kim Davis and her first and one of her last words to all of us as we were in there is all is well. Kim Davis slept well last night, and she slept with a very good conscience, and she was in very good spirits. She was encouraging to us, and I think she never envisioned herself to be here, but this is where she is. She is here because of her conscience. She is a prisoner of her conscience, if you will. She has a clean conscience, even though she is incarcerated behind these bars. One thing that Kim Davis will never do is imprison her conscience, even though she herself may be physically incarcerated. She loves God, and her life was radically transformed three years ago when she heard a story of grace and forgiveness and when she went to a church that evening at the dying wish of her godly mother-in-law, she heard there was a God that loved her and gave himself for her and died for her since and freely forgave all that she had ever done and she played in the devil's playground for a long time and her life has been radically changed since then and that forms the basis for Kim Davis's commitment and conscience, because she loves god and she loves her people and she loves her job and the people of this county and she is committed to all of them.
"To the people of Rowen county, she has been a servant for years and her mother was before that, and last year she ran for office and she felt a call on her life to run for office and she became the clerk of the county, and she will remain the clerk of Rowen county. She has no intention of stepping down because she loves her people and loves the job, and she intends to serve them well and she already has done that. By the end of the year, she will return about $1.5 million in savings to that county. But she also loves god and one thing she can't do is issue a license for marriage under her name and under the authority of the clerk of the court for rowen county that authorizes marriage that is contrary to the design of god's marriage. Under her authority to a marriage license that goes into the annalls of Kentucky history, that is for Kim Davis, a heaven or hell decision, she said, and it's also a decision of obedience. Some asked me how long Kim Davis will be incarcerated here and I can't tell you that. I can tell you very clearly what Kim Davis will do. She has no intention to resign and will continue to serve the people of the county as she has done for years, and she will never betray her God. She is prepared for the consequences of those two decisions and that's why she is here. She is the first person who literally be in prison since a decision on the Supreme Court, and it has stunned the American people and shocked me, and we did not anticipate we would be here with Kim Davis in an Orange jumpsuit as we visited her a few
