A Kentucky clerk jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses asserted that any ones that are issued without her authority Friday to gay couples in Rowan County are void and “not worth the paper they are written on” because she didn’t approve them, her attorney said.
Kim Davis “has already been doing Bible studies with herself” in jail, her attorney Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel told reporters after meeting her behind bars. He said Davis is in very good spirits and is fully prepared to stay as long it takes to defend her religious freedoms.
"She's not going to resign, she's not going to sacrifice her conscience, so she's doing what Martin Luther King Jr. wrote about in his Letter from the Birmingham Jail, which is to pay the consequences for her decision," Staver said.
Staver said he’s preparing to appeal U.S. District Judge David Bunning’s contempt finding as one of several legal challenges on her behalf.
At least three gay couples received marriage licenses on Friday from one of Davis’ deputies, embracing and celebrating after repeatedly being denied before Davis was imprisoned on Thursday. Their attorneys, along with Rowan County Attorney Cecil Watkins, insist the licenses are valid.
Marriage licenses in Kentucky usually have the elected clerk’s signature on them, those handed out on Friday didn’t have any signature. The Rowan County attorney and the lawyers for the gay couples insist they are valid anyway. When the judge was asked if the licenses will be considered valid without Davis' authorization, he said it was up to the gay couples to take that chance.

The gay’s attorneys can insist all they want.
The laws of Kentucky say otherwise.
And if they say the laws have been swept away, then NO licenses are valid until law is codified by the State of Kentucky legislature to replace what was wiped away.
any ones that are issued without her authority Friday to gay couples in Rowan County are void and “not worth the paper they are written on”
These mere words will drive the Perverts crazy.
If it’s that easy... why is she in jail?
She is in jail because some stupid assed federal judge thinks he is higher than the almighty.
Also as an aside, if you read the SCOTUS opinions, there is nothing, repeat not a word that strikes down Kentucky, Michigan, Tennessee and one other state laws. It ONLY professes that the 14th Amendment gives the “right” to marriage and the states must abide. Soooo, if Kentucky still has laws on the books, they are still valid until changed to abide by the court’s “decree”. The courts can’t change existing laws, only interpret or strike down. Neither has yet happened. Until the legislative branch, state and federal, get off their duff and impeach these phsyco judges, they will continue to think they are the almighty.

It is the judge who is breaking Kentucky law and he mention he was above natural law in one of the first reports on this (guess he sees himself as a little god )
(Psalms 82:1) A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
(Psalms 82:2) How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
(Psalms 82:3) Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
(Psalms 82:4) Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
(Psalms 82:5) They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
(Psalms 82:6) I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
(Psalms 82:7) But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
(Psalms 82:8) Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
“If it’s that easy... why is she in jail?”
Because we have a bunch of unjust judges
Fine. Then release her from jail.
“She is in jail because some stupid assed federal judge thinks he is higher than the almighty.”
So are the righteous citizens of Kentucky picketing the judge’s court? They should be demanding his removal from the bench by impeachment.
Why does anyone have to obtain a license to get married is beyond me. Maybe the IRS needs this info. If that’s the reason then let’s get rid of the IRS:)
praise God. it’s good to hear she is doing ok.
RE: Why does anyone have to obtain a license to get married is beyond me.
How do you prove that you’re married then?
Can two people simply say they’re married and then they’re therefore married?
Let’s take just one example...
You are Mr. X married to Ms. Y, social security by default, gives what you would have gotten upon your death to your wife. Should you die, how does Ms. Y prove that she is Mr. X’s wife?
This gets complicated if Mr. X is now living with his mistress Ms. Z for many years.
So, both Ms. Z and Ms. Y claims that his social security should go be theirs. Without a marriage license how do they prove their respective claims?
And not valid without a signature... Hmmm
That is what the Supremes struck down very explicitly, that in so far as any law, specifically Kentucky and 3 other state laws that define marriage as only a man and women. I don’t agree, but that is how they ruled. Now does that mean other parts of the law are still valid. A question yet to be litigated.
Kentuckyians can be an odd bunch...they continually reelect Turtle Chin Traitor/Liar Mitch McConnell. He must be Really bringing home the PORK. Like maybe Mitch is bringing a bridge and train and an International Airport to Corban, Kentucky !!SHAME on Ky. !!!
bttt
Along with the IRS, we can do away with Social Security.
I stopped reading the article, when they started writing about that anti-HaShem couple. One point: one anti-HaShem person said it was waiting to get miraged. Why didn’t it go to the next county?
The mirage licenses aren’t signed? Oh boy, everybody can get married! I guess group mirages are legal now in Rowan county.
Yeah, since apparently she DOESN’T have to sign them.
