Kentucky clerk Kim Davis has obeyed orders to issue marriage licenses
to same-sex couples in the months since she spent five nights in jail
for refusing to do so, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.
United
States District Judge David Bunning denied the American Civil Liberties
Union’s request to order Davis to reissue licenses she had altered to
remove her name and title or face the possibility of further punishment.
He found that Davis has allowed her deputies to issue licenses to
anyone eligible since September and that the altered licenses are likely
valid under Kentucky law.

On Tuesday, Bunning found that Davis has been complying with his order
and that “there is every reason to believe that any altered licenses …
would be recognized under Kentucky law,” rendering the ACLU’s request
“moot.”
