Actually, they aren’t being issued with her signature. They’re being issued without any signature at all.
She’s been saying, through her lawyer, that without a signature they’re invalid.
This is where it’s going to go from interesting to VERY interesting.
Can you cite a source for the lack of signature?
That’s extra interesting, since KY law says they are invalid without it.
As long as her name or signature are not on the documents, they let the other clerks condemn themselves if they want to.
If they’re being issued with no signature, then she is not violating her faith, but the authorities are violating the law.
This line of argument may be running out of steam, as according to KY 61.035;
“Any duty enjoined by law or by the Rules of Civil Procedure upon a ministerial officer, and any act permitted to be done by him, may be performed by his lawful deputy”
The deputies are empowered to carry out the functions of the office if the head is not present.
