Actually she has tried. She asked the KY legislature to make it so her signature would no longer be required to issue a license and they never did it. Her religious objection is based on the fact that the KY statue requires that the elected County Clerk sign every marriage license and she does not want her name affixed to a homosexual marriage.
Her legal team is not raising the issues on this thread. They are sticking to the First Amendment issues.
My position is that even if someone else could issue the license, the license is invalid because Marriage as a state approved institution no longer exists in Kentucky (Thank you Justice Kennedy - may God have mercy on your soul).

This is a better long term strategy in my opinion. Once all the states re-write their marriage laws to conform with the SCOTUS decision, all clerks across the country will not be able to conscientiously object if that is their only concern.
