ROWAN COUNTY, KY – Liberty Counsel’s Chief Litigation Counsel, Harry Mihet, will meet with the press today at 1:00 PM ET at the Rowan County Courthouse, 600 West Main Street, in Morehead, Kentucky.

Mihet will discuss County Clerk Kim Davis’s plans to move forward with her pending appeals, including Judge Bunning’s expansion of his injunction order. There are several appeals pending, which include (1) a challenge to Judge Bunning’s original Injunction ordering Kim Davis to issue marriage licenses, (2) Kim Davis’s federal suit against Gov. Steven Beshear requesting a reasonable accommodation, (3) the Contempt Order that remanded Kim Davis to jail for six days, and (4) the challenge to Judge Bunning’s expansion of the original Injunction that went beyond the plaintiffs to essentially include the entire world.

Last Friday Liberty Counsel requested the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals to expedite a ruling on the challenge against the expanded Injunction. Within a few hours of the request, the Court of Appeals ordered expedited briefing. The opposing parties must file their response by the close of business tomorrow. Liberty Counsel will file its reply Wednesday morning. A ruling is expected soon thereafter.

Later this week, Liberty Counsel will file another suit against Gov. Beshear, seeking a reasonable accommodation.

This morning as she returned to work, Kim Davis addressed the press amidst throngs of people who gathered to show support. She was surrounded by police officers for security, with her son at her side. Liberty Counsel transcribed the statement made by Kim Davis and is making it available to the public.

“This case is far from over. We will not rest until a permanent accommodation is made for Kim Davis,” said Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel. “Lest anyone think what Kim Davis is facing is unique to her, you would be wrong. She is one of millions of people in the public and private sector whose deeply held religious convictions will collide with the opinion of five Supreme Court Justices issued just over two months ago,” concluded Staver.
