A deputy county clerk in Kentucky says that even if his boss tells him
to stop issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, he will tell her
he can't obey her and will instead follow a judge's order.

Brian Mason works for Rowan County clerk Kim Davis, who was jailed for
five days over her refusal to issue marriage licenses to same-sex
couples. Davis was released Tuesday. A federal judge warned her not to
interfere with licensing; deputy clerks have been issuing them in her
absence. But Davis' lawyers have said she can't violate her conscience,
and she's repeatedly cited her beliefs about homosexuality as an
apostolic Christian. The attorneys wouldn't say exactly what she'll do
when she returns to work Friday or Monday.

Mason said Wednesday that licenses would be granted to anyone seeking
them. He told reporters that if Davis tells him to stop, he will tell
her no. Mason says he would have to follow the judge's order to issue
licenses.

Lawyers for Rowan County clerk Kim Davis say she will return to work
Friday or Monday. In the meantime, deputy clerk Mason says the office
will issues licenses Wednesday in Davis' absence if anyone seeks them.

Mason says that while Davis was jailed, the office issued 10 licenses:
eight Friday, two Tuesday. Seven went to same-sex couples.
