I would be interested to read any oath she took. Until I do I’m not going to assume that she has violated it

Well you stated she wasn’t issuing ANY marriage licenses. That’s what I based my “not fulfilling her oath” comment on. Maybe I should change the word oath to duties.

Look at it this way. If you accept the concept that SCOTUS has the final say on the constitutionality of a law, then the most that SCOTUS can do is overturn or invalidate laws that they determine to be unconstitutional. They CANNOT decree that existing laws have been changed. So if the Kentucky laws are written so that they specifically limit marriage to a man and a woman, SCOTUS may be able to overturn those laws so that they may not be enforced. But that means that Kentucky no longer has ANY laws concerning marriage. If the existing laws are invalid, then the state legislature will need to pass new laws that are constitutional. Until that happens, no marriage licenses in Kentucky can really be issued legally, can they? So by not issuing any marriage licenses, it seems like she was abiding by the current state of the law in Kentucky...

According to Kentucky law, as posted above, you have to apply for a marriage license in the county in which the female lives.

These two sick faggots cannot comply with that requirement of Kentucky law. Not only is neither a female, neither of them live in Kentucky. They are from Ohio.

So how is she supposed to follow the law in issuing a "marriage" certificate?

I notice everyone glosses over the requirements of the law unless it's requirements that *THEY* want to enforce. Those other requirements? "Well we can just ignore those."
