After Rowan County clerk Kim Davis, was taken into federal custody Thursday for repeatedly refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, three of her six deputy county clerks have said they would issue licenses, WOWK reported.


The local station reported that the other three deputy clerks are awaiting their hearings. Davis and all of her staff were summoned to court by a federal judge Sept. 1.

WOWK also reported that the judge who sent Davis into custody won't release her even if the deputies start granting licenses to gay couples.

1. The best part

is that the licenses will have her name on them since she is the overall county clerk. So she's definitely going to hell.

2. "Go to jail. Do not stop in heaven and collect your spiritual redemption." nt

4. I wonder if they have her on a suicide watch?

6. No way. She has a small fortune to grift

from all the fundy rubes, marks and chumps on the intertubes and she ain't gonna miss out on that for anything.

3. hopefully she stays there until the legislature can impeach her (if they will... being GOP and all)

5. she is a Democrat. Maybe if they put an Obama mask on her . . . nt

9. throw a burkha on her, no mask needed.

10. She has barred her deputies from issuing licenses

From The New York Times:

[font size=5]Jailed Clerk Bars Deputies From Licensing Gay Marriages[/font]

ASHLAND, Ky. — A defiant county clerk rejected a proposal that would have allowed her deputies to grant same-sex marriage licenses, hours after she was sent to jail by a federal judge for disobeying a court order.

Through her lawyer, the clerk, Kim Davis of Rowan County, said she would not agree to allow the licenses to be issued under her authority as county clerk. Had she consented, the judge would have considered releasing her from custody.

Five of the six deputies have told Judge David L. Bunning of Federal District Court that that they will issue the licenses, though some of them said they would do so reluctantly. The lone holdout was Ms. Davis’s son, Nathan.

Ms. Davis had argued that the Supreme Court order that she issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples infringed upon her religious beliefs and liberties. But after a hearing, Judge Bunning said that “her good faith belief is simply not a viable defense,” and ordered Ms. Davis to jail.
