Kim Davis Back, Questions Legality Of Licenses Issued Without Her Authority
[su_publirb]
Rowan County, Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis is back at work today, but wants her name off marriage licenses issued to gay couples and says those marriages may not be legal.
Choking back tears this morning at a news conference before her return to work, a defiant Davis said she is faced with a “seemingly impossible choice … my conscience or my freedom,” referring to her opposition to same-sex marriages.
She added: “I’m no hero.”
Despite her assertion that her deputies don’t have her authority to issue marriage licenses, Rowan County Deputy Clerk Brian Mason said he will continue issuing them today.
Davis also told reporters this morning that she wants the licenses to indicate that they are being issued under federal authority.
