Kentucky clerk Kim Davis will spend the night in jail after refusing to grant her deputy clerks authority to grant marriage licenses to gay couples, WKOW reported Thursday.
While the Rowan County clerk’s office is set to begin issuing marriage licenses at 8 a.m. on Friday, the licenses are on shaky legal ground without her signature, the station reported.
Every deputy county clerks but one – Davis’ son – said they would issue licenses to same-sex couples in her absence.
#KimDavis: While she won’t authorize deputies it may put license in legal limbo. Judge says applicants might have to marry at their own risk

#KimDavis: Applicants marrying at their own risk means that the license might not be valid without her signature.

I’m not sure orange is her color. Too bad.
Why isn’t her son in jail with her for stating he will not comply either?
So now she has what she REALLY wanted all along, to be a MARTYR just like the White, 6’ 2", Red-Headed, Republican. Rambo-Jesus that she (professes) to worship.
It was never about LAW or Right/Wrong. It was about MARTYRDOM.
I guarantee she enjoys struggling and bleeding up there on her cross.
Oh, she’s in the county jail? Carter County, at that. Enjoy listening to the meth addicts and heroin addicts scream their faces off all night. She’s in for a rough night.
What a vicious, self-righteous, bigoted bitch … and her little dog too! (Err, I mean her son. Oops.)
