The Kentucky county clerk who was jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples has taken reasonable steps to comply substantially with a judge’s orders and should not face further contempt citations, her attorneys said on Tuesday.
Lawyers for couples suing Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis have argued that she made material changes to the marriage forms upon her return from jail in September that put her out of compliance with U.S. District Judge David Bunning’s orders.
They asked Bunning to impose fines or a limited receivership on the clerk’s office in the dispute that has become the latest focal point in a long-running debate over gay marriage in the United States.
Lawyers for Davis, whose meeting with Pope Francis during his trip to the United States last month sparked widespread debate when it became public, said in a court filing that state-elected officials see the licenses as valid.
Bunning’s order said nothing about the details the licenses must contain and he had already permitted alterations, the lawyers said.
Davis has cited her beliefs as an Apostolic Christian to deny marriage licenses to gay couples even as she has been married herself four times and has had some children out of wedlock.
She refused to issue any licenses after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June made gay marriage legal across the United States and she was sued by gay couples.
this exposes the republican hypocrisy of law abiding and enforcing them she is criminally guilty of the charges and there's a debate while republican circle the wagons and defend in the name of the Lord, while also ignoring the law???   but they ignore the teachings in the Bible.
