Default Update on Clerk Kim Davis

Kim Davis, the defiant Kentucky county clerk, was found in contempt of
court and taken into federal custody.

U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning ordered Davis, the Rowan County
clerk, to be jailed on the contempt charges until she agrees to comply
with multiple court orders to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

The judge ordered her held indefinitely because he did not believe fines
would be enough to compel her to follow the law.

Her office refused to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple as
recently as Thursday morning, before Davis and her staff closed the
office made the half-hour trip from Morehead to Ashland.


They keep ignoring the fact that she wasn't issuing ANY marriage
licenses. It wasn't discrimination but it may have been illegal if the
Kentucky law REQUIRES county clerks to issue them.
