Kentucky clerk who refused gay marriage licenses can be sued

A federal court ruled Kim Davis can be sued in her individual capacity, though sovereign immunity shielded her from being sued in her former county clerk role.

The Kentucky county clerk who in 2015 gained widespread attention for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples may be sued for damages by two of those couples, a federal appeals court ruled on Friday.

In a 3-0 decision, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati said Kim Davis can be sued in her individual capacity, though sovereign immunity shielded her from being sued in her former role as Rowan County Clerk.
