Pennsylvania Zombie Clerk Shot Down Again

Zombie ClerkYes, she’s at it again. The Third Circuit shot down a Pennsylvania Clerk’s attempt to derail marriage equality yet again.

LGBTQ Nation reports:

A federal appeals court has rejected a Pennsylvania county clerk’s latest effort to overturn a federal judge’s ruling allowing same-sex couples to marry in the state… The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on Monday denied a request by Theresa Santai-Gaffney, the Register of Wills and Orphans’ Court Clerk for Schuylkill County, Pa., seeking an “en banc” hearing in her bid to gain standing to defend the state’s ban on same-sex marriage… On July 3, a three judge panel of the Third Circuit rejected Santai-Gaffney’s bid to gain standing in the case, affirming the District Court’s ruling that “if the highest elected official in the commonwealth chooses to abide by our decision, it defies credulity that we would permit a single citizen to stand in for him to perfect an appeal.”

What is this, her fourth or fifth attempt? Give it a rest, Ms. Santai-Gaffney, it ain’t gonna happen. Isn’t “frivolous lawsuits” a thing?
