Kim Davis returns to Rowan County Clerk’s office Monday – will she obey the law?
After defying a court order, spending several days in jail, and appearing at a rally with Mike Huckabee, gay marriage opponent Kim Davis plans to return to her job as Rowan County clerk on Monday.
Davis spent part of Wednesday going through a large pile of letters that were awaiting her after her release from jail a day earlier, according to WHAS-11.
‘I am deeply moved by all those who prayed for me,’ Davis said in a statement. ‘All I can say is that I am amazed and very grateful. I am enjoying spending time with my husband, my family, and my three dogs. I have also been spending time reading boxes of letters expressing support and prayers from people around the country.’
It remains to be seen whether Davis will comply with a judge’s order that she not interfere with the issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples who request them.
The first member of her staff to issue a license to a same-sex couple last week was Brian Mason who is a deputy for Davis. He tells BuzzFeed News he plans to continue to issue licenses even if Davis tells him not to when she returns to work.
‘I would issue licenses,’ Mason said. ‘Yes.’
US District Court Judge David Bunning released Davis from jail on the condition that she ‘not interfere in any way, directly or indirectly, with the efforts of her deputy clerks to issue marriage licenses to all legally eligible couples.’
If she does interfere, Davis could find herself back behind bars.
