Judge’s order at this link .... if her name is still on the license although the deputy clerks issue them, this will not solve her issue.

Defendant Davis shall be released from the custody of the U.S. Marshal forthwith. Defendant Davis shall not interfere in any way, directly or indirectly, with the efforts of her deputy clerks to issue marriage licenses to all legally eligible couples. If Defendant Davis should interfere in any way with their issuance, that will be considered a violation of this Order and appropriate sanctions will be considered
Agreed. Dumb Bunning is still afoul of the law.
Did she agree to it? Because it sounds like what the judge is saying is that she can continue to be county clerk but cannot run her office.
The only "legally eligible couples" are those who comport with the laws of the state of Kentucky, in other words, are a man and a woman.
This judge is an idiot. She's going to go down to the court house and tell her employees to STOP issuing fraudulent documents with her name on them. Duh.

Really?
“legally eligible couples”? With all due respect to the laws of the state of Kentucky (and a big FU to a SCOTUS “opinion”), then she may continue to deny same sex licenses.
So the non-elected employees rule over the elected boss. Wow kind of like ValJar and the federal agency heads.
SCOTUS declared Kentucky's marriage law unconstitutional - Kentucky has yet to pass a replacement law, exactly who is an eligible couple in Kentucky? And please explain to me why it is merely limited to a couple? At this point, I can think of no rational argument once you've tossed out the meaning of the word 'marriage.'
