Rowan
County, Kentucky, clerk Kim Davis was given a second chance: She didn't
have to issue same-sex marriage licenses herself; she merely had to
agree not to interfere with five deputy clerks who had told the federal
judge they'd issue them in her stead.
But
Davis' lawyer told U.S. District Judge David Bunning that his client
would not allow her deputies to issue the licenses. Davis was not in the
courtroom for the second session. She was in a hallway outside.
"We cannot represent to the court that she would allow licenses to be issued," attorney Mat Staver said.
Staver later told CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper" that Davis would issue licenses if her name and title were not on them.
"Because
that in her understanding and mind is authorizing something that is
contrary to her Christian values and convictions," he said. "That's
where the conscience rub is."
Earlier
Thursday, Bunning remanded Davis into the custody of U.S. marshals for
refusing to heed a U.S. Supreme Court order legalizing same-sex
marriage, saying she would remain in jail until she complies with the
ruling.
Lord have mercy-
