September 3, 201511 yr If she's in jail, who is issuing marriage licenses in Rowan County? Any of the clerks in her office can I think...of course she may (try to) fire them later.
September 3, 201511 yr Any word on directions to the Deputy Clerks OR responses as to whether they would issue if she was not there? They were ordered to attend the contempt hearing.
September 3, 201511 yr If she's in jail, who is issuing marriage licenses in Rowan County? I read somewhere if the Clerk is "absent" or "away," the County Judge Executive has the authority to issue.
September 3, 201511 yr So you are advocating ignoring law breakers when they are right in front of you? I believe we do it all the time...uhh, Colorado, Washington, are we listening ?
September 3, 201511 yr The person that would issue Marriage Licenses would be The County Judge Executive.
September 3, 201511 yr I believe we do it all the time...uhh, Colorado, Washington, are we listening ? Apples and oranges.
September 3, 201511 yr I know it's bad...but the first thing I did was go to twitter: @NEXTtokomdavis Now we're listening to "I kissed a girl" on repeat!! Need more suggestions for our #KimDavis jail mix!!! Have you looked at @ClerkKimDavis ? Pure gold.
September 3, 201511 yr Then she has the talking part done. I hope she rides it out. I have no problem for individuals standing firm for their beliefs and if she's willing to do the time, I support her. Most don't have the coconuts to be booked and get on the inside of the beast.
September 3, 201511 yr So you are advocating ignoring law breakers when they are right in front of you? There are plenty of worse people who are breaking the law walking around than an old woman who wont issue gay people marriage permits.

September 3, 201511 yr Apples and oranges. Not at all, only if you want to see it that way. A law is a law is a law, picking and choosing what to enforce and why is the politics of the legal game...you and I both know that is a truism.
September 3, 201511 yr Apples and oranges.That is correct. The issue brought up is a jurisdictional issue.

If the Supreme Court rules that Marijuana is illegal then end of the story it is illegal in all 50 states. Until such time it is a state issue.

September 3, 201511 yr 2nd in command. I would assume there is a KRS that dictates who is in charge now. Actually I thought I read somewhere that since hers is a constitutional office until she's formally removed from office she can still act as county clerk even from jail and in fact it's been done before.
