September 3, 201511 yr If in fact her name has to be on it, I wouldn't think that a federal judge can change state law. Confused on what that means. :idunno:
September 3, 201511 yr Just saying that if in fact her name has to be on the license, the judge can't change that...it would take the legislature. Maybe that is the case as she elected to go back to jail.
September 3, 201511 yr Just saying that if in fact her name has to be on the license, the judge can't change that...it would take the legislature. May that is the case as she elected to go back to jail. O. Ok. Yeah, the judge wasn't looking to change policy, just trying to help her find a way out of jail IMO.

September 3, 201511 yr so i did a very little research, this all may be wrong. The county clerk has lots of duties, and ALL of the laws say "the clerk is to ________" none of the statutes say, "the clerk or the deputy clerk". The marriage license one is the same, it says "the clerk is to sign and issue..." But it does not say, "the clerk and not a deputy clerk". So it looks to me like deputies can sign anything the clerk can. And they do. So i do think the Judge was giving her an easy way out, but she refused. duties of elected officials link: http://www.lrc.ky.gov/lrcpubs/ib114.pdf
September 3, 201511 yr Because she is an elected official, does that mean she has to be sworn in? If so, what exactly is the oath that she agreed to uphold?

September 3, 201511 yr the oath she took upon entering office. KY Constitution sec 228 Oath of officers and attorneys.

September 3, 201511 yr Doesn't seem to matter: Bluegrass Politics @BGPolitics now12 seconds ago Kim Davis tells judge she'd rather stay in jail than cooperate with her deputies giving marriage licenses. OK, jail it is, judge says. This lady is a first class idiot, nothing more nothing else. David Bunning is giving her every chance in the world to stay out of jail. But instead she would rather force her beliefs on the deputy clerks that apparently do not have a problem issuing the licenses. Sounds toe like her and her family feel like the own Rowan County. Good luck to Mrs Davis, she's about to spend some time segregated herself.
September 3, 201511 yr @bgpolitics: Judge Bunning warns Rowan Co deputy clerks their office better open Friday and comply. Couples plan to be there for licenses. ^JCso they can still issue without her approval? How does that work?
