Supporters rally for Kim Davis in Kentucky
Davis, who citing her Christian beliefs in her refusal to issue the marriage licenses, has attracted national attention and the support of Republican presidential candidates, including Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.) and Marco Rubio (Fla.).
Deputy clerks issued at least four same-sex marriage licenses after Davis was taken into custody, though Mat Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel, told Reuters that they are likely invalid because Davis didn’t approve them.
The Supreme Court ruled earlier this year in a 5-4 case that same-sex couples cannot be denied marriage licenses under the 14th Amendment.
