Ky. Clerk Kim Davis Altering Licenses: ACLU

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a court motion on Monday saying that Rowan County clerk Kim Davis is interfering with deputies who are issuing wedding licenses to same-sex couples, NBC News reported.

Davis is accused of confiscating “all the original forms” and of providing “a changed form” that didn’t mention Rowan County, according to the motion. The new form, the motion said, didn’t mention Davis’ name nor that of the deputy clerk.

The ACLU is representing several couples suing the county and is asking that older, unmodified versions of the county's licenses be used. 

Davis, who returned to her job on Sept. 14 as the county's clerk, spent a week in jail for refusing to provide same-sex couples with marriage licenses. Davis pledged she wouldn’t interfere with deputies issuing marriage licenses.
