A Kentucky court clerk is once again asking a federal judge for an order freeing her from the obligation of issuing marriage licenses. It's a move that would allow her to remain in office while still refusing to acknowledge same-sex unions. Kim Davis ignited a fierce debate in her office in Rowan County, Kentucky this week when she defied orders to comply with a U.S. Supreme Court declaring the constitutionality of same-sex marriages. Davis, a born-again Apostolic Christian who has been divorced three times, said issuing the licenses to gay couples would violate "God's definition of marriage" and would infringe on her religious freedom. The unorthodox gambit appears to have little chance of succeeding. The American Civil Liberties Union, which is one of the groups seeking an order of contempt, called Davis' move "a blatant attempt to have a second bite at the apple." http://nbcnews.to/1N3BuXA http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by Wochit using http://wochit.com
