So are you saying that unless the law is rewritten then nobody on Kentucky can get married, regardless of sexual orientation?

Yes, it seems to me that the exiting marriage law was struck down in its entirety, so until a compliant replacement law is created how can anybody get issued a legal marriage license? I am not a lawyer, so maybe I am missing some legal something.

I’m by far not a legalese guru and have a damn hard time understanding the wording. But
my understanding is Kim Davis lost based upon this recently issued ruling June 26, 2015.

She was ruled against under the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the
Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Or that is my understanding.

Note:
June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the landmark case of Obergefell v. Hodges,
576 U.S. (2015), holding in a 5–4 decision that the fundamental right to marry is
guaranteed to same-sex couples by both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause
of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
