Kim Davis Does Not Block Deputies from Issuing Marriage Licenses 
-----------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Kentucky, Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis did not prevent her deputies
from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples Monday on her first
day back at work after she was jailed for refusing to provide the
licenses herself. Davis said she herself would not authorize same-sex
marriage licenses.

Kim Davis: "Any unauthorized license that they issue will not have my
name, my title or my authority on it. Instead, the license will state
that they are issued pursuant to a federal court order. Judge Benning
indicated last week that he was willing to accept altered marriage
license, even though he was not certain of their validity."
