Per
here (in the comments), "In Rowan county, county clerk is an elected position." So it would seem that simply firing her is not an option.
Per Faith's link:
quote:
The American Civil Liberties Union sued her last month on behalf of four couples. U.S. District Judge David Bunning ordered Davis to issue marriage licenses two weeks ago. He later delayed that ruling until Aug. 31 or until the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling. The appeals court did so on Wednesday, denying Davis' appeal.
So, the Clerk Kim Davis is getting sued, and will lose the suit. But maybe she will end up in jail first, on a contempt of court charge. In which case, I presume a deputy clerk will fill the position.
Regardless, it's not going to turn out pretty for Kim Davis, if she persists. And rightfully so.
