(38,033 posts)Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis was ordered released from jail today.
U.S. District Judge David Bunning, who jailed her for contempt of court Thursday for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, ordered her freed on the condition that she not interfere with her deputies, who have been granting licenses to gay and straight couples since Friday.
Bunning said the office had complied with his order.
This story will be updated.

(38,033 posts)They were both racing to rally for Kim! Now they'll have to settle for tap-dancing to the tune of "She's free! But we didn't win anything!"

I'm just wondering how long she can go without pulling more shit, but I bet it won't be long.

(38,033 posts)...her non-relative subordinates aren't exactly fond of her. Her mother was elected to and held the county clerk position for years while Kim was employed under her, also for years. When mom retired, Kim won and hired her own son as a deputy clerk. Good old city government nepotism.

(36,611 posts)that in order to keep her job she's going to have to do her job. Oh wait. She's a right wing nut job. She wouldn't think like that.
I hope the judge wasn't influenced by the pro-Kim protesters!
