ASHLAND, Ky., Feb. 10 (UPI) -- A federal judge ruled that Rowan County, Ky., Clerk Kim Davis has upheld the law in issuing marriage licenses without her name to same-sex couples.
U.S. District Judge David Brunning rendered moot a suit by the American Civil Liberties Union calling for Davis to re-issue licenses she had altered to remove her name. In his order, Bunning said Tuesday that Davis has permitted her deputies to issue the licenses, a practice legalizing the licenses by Gov. Mark Bevin's executive order, since September 2015, when she declined to have her name on the licenses.
