Rowan County, Kentucky clerk Kim Davis may have compromised marriage licenses for same-sex couples in defiance of a federal judges order, the Associated Press reported on Friday.
An attorney for deputy clerk Brian Mason said that Davis confiscated the countys original forms for married couples and replaced them with new forms that deleted her name. The new form also lacks a place for Mason to sign his own name.
Mr. Mason is concerned because he is in a difficult position that he continues to issue the licenses per the courts order, which had some remote questionable validity, the attorney, Richard Hughes wrote in a petition to the court. But now with these changes may in fact have some substantial questions about validity.
Attorneys for Davis have argued that by omitting her name on the new form and saying they were issued under the authority of federal District Judge David Bunning, her office could continue to serve same-sex couples while maintaining a clear conscience for her.

Just rember her council is less about her legal defense and more about the whole circus they can build around her- they are more publicist than lawyer at this point.
