Yes, but the “marriage licenses” she has the official duty to issue are Kentucky marriage licenses, NOT Federal marriage licenses, and Kentucky marriage licenses do not apply to — and, therefore, it is ludicrous to issue them to — same-sex couples.

That's why I think the most effective approach here would be for states to get out of the business of issuing marriage licenses entirely.

Who the hell is anyone in a state government to insist on "licensing" a marriage, in the first place?

I regard that as a defeat for society and for reason, but at this point it looks like the best we can do is a strategic retreat until we can find some more power some where.

It is my understanding that Oklahoma has changed their law to do away with marriage certificates. To effectively remove any state involvement in the process. They did this specifically with the intent to prevent any Faggot Marriage licenses from being issued, and to prevent any clerks from having to deal with the issue.

Kentucky should do the same. The message needs to be sent to the court that they didn't win, they just destroyed legal marriage for everyone else.
