FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — The latest on a county clerk in Kentucky who has repeatedly refused to issue marriage licenses:
2:55 p.m.
A Kentucky county clerk is again asking a judge to delay his ruling ordering her to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
U.S. District Judge David Bunning’s order has been upheld by a federal appeals court and the U.S. Supreme Court. But Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis continues to disobey it, saying she cannot do something that violates her religious beliefs.
Bunning has scheduled a hearing for Thursday. He could hold Davis in contempt of court, which could lead to fines or jail time.
But on Wednesday, Davis again asked Bunning to delay his order so she can appeal an earlier decision on a related issue. Davis had asked Bunning last month for an injunction against Gov. Steve Beshear for ordering her to issue the marriage licenses. Bunning refused to hear that motion. By doing that, Davis’ attorneys argue that Bunning effectively denied their motion, which they have the right to appeal.
Davis’ attorneys asked Bunning to delay his order while they appeal to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Lock her ass up already.
Sorry. No means no.
Maybe she needs more time because she is busy filing for another divorce.
shes already lost. and she will never win.
I agree- just throw her in jail.
she can really do some mentoring to female prisoners now.
and seriously 80k in KY for a clerk? that sounds just so weird
One of my posts on this from another day:
Seemingly nothing in the law is ever settled, and every time I hear a person has run out of avenues for relief there is yet another filing. Amended filings. Filings on different grounds. Court shopping, judge shopping, some new novel writ or claim resulting in another round of appeals through a dozens layers of the judiciary. Everyone is writing and saying SCOTUS has put this to bed and she’s out of options. Oh really? In the United States you’re seemingly never out of options, and nothing gets put to rest for good.
