LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 8 (UPI) -- A federal judge ordered the release of Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis on Tuesday less than one week after she was found in contempt of court for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses.
The order, signed U.S. District Judge David Bunning, lifted the contempt sanction against Davis on the grounds that her employees are issuing marriage licenses as per the U.S. Supreme Court decision on gay marriage.
