Oh, Kentucky

Well, we just had an interesting last hour or so in Kentucky ...

BREAKING: Attorney general: Kentucky won't appeal order to recognize gay marriages from other states.
— The Associated Press (@AP) March 4, 2014

Conway chokes up, halts, is emotional in announcing he'll not appeal Heyburn.

Gay marriage is here to stay, Kentucky.

The highest law enforcement official in #Kentucky has said barring gay couples from marriage is "discrimination.” That’s historic. #LGBT

This! RT @JonathanMeador: BREAKING: @GovSteveBeshear says state will hire counsel to appeal Heyburn's ruling. #Kentucky #kyga14 #LGBT
— Phillip M. Bailey (@phillipmbailey) March 4, 2014

Everyone who supports #LGBT rights in Kentucky just got whiplash. Conway gives a big victory, & Beshear snatches it back immediately. #kygov

Beshear understands beliefs on both sides "but all Kentuckians deserve ... process that will bring ... finality to this important matter.”

Seeking to protect House Maj! RT @JonathanMeador: @GovSteveBeshear says state will hire counsel to appeal Heyburn's ruling #Kentucky #kyga14

@cattleprod @GovSteveBeshear I guarantee outside counsel will cost a lot more than the modestly-paid attorneys in the AG's office.

All those liberals who have been fawning over @GovSteveBeshear for #ACA just got a reality check. #Kentucky #LGBT

Here's @GovSteveBeshear's press release pic.twitter.com/7tm6GoAqB1
— Jacob Payne (@cattleprod) March 4, 2014

I encourage everyone in the press to diligently report the amount of money Beshear will pay outside counsel to appeal the Bourke ruling.

This is a disappointing political stunt. Sorry Kentuckians, your civil liberties are chess pieces. Expensive chess pieces.

Asked @RepJohnYarmuth if Conway & Beshear dueling decisions demonstrate @KyDems split: “The country is still divided over this issue.” #LGBT
— Phillip M. Bailey (@phillipmbailey) March 4, 2014

Well that effectively ends any chatter about @GovSteveBeshear being a possible VP candidate in 2016.
