Meaning still no marriage licenses issued to same sex couples at least until the legislature makes a move?
Interesting. The judge can jail her but has no power over what her office does or does not do. Who will blink first? The judge, the clerk or the legislature?
“Meaning still no marriage licenses issued to same sex couples at least until the legislature makes a move?”
No, not necessarily.
From an AP article:
“1:15 p.m. A federal judge is warning deputy clerks in Kentucky that they must issue marriage licenses to gay couples or face fines or jail.
U.S. District Judge David Bunning already jailed Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis for refusing to comply with his order. She was led out of the courtroom by U.S. marshals on Thursday.
The judge gave the deputy clerks time to go meet with public defenders and said the hearing will resume at 1:45 p.m.”
