and that s about be proud to support davis but let me looking at his track record he s he s been in office now for one and a half years and unemployment at least in the united states is down to its lowest level since one thousand nine hundred sixty nine that is impressive is donald trump doing something right you say you know maybe i think want to do it for tax reform i think it s something everybody supports supreme court i think is helpful but overall i think he needs to change his mind because he to always talked about greater deficit between you over the u.s. and that s only half full because after all because if you add all the services and everything the americans are doing here and we are doing here it looks much better looks very very balanced but he doesn t want to understand that now then what would you then advice the german government to do i mean the u.s. german relations certainly have improved since donna trump is in power what can or
break news out of kentucky. a same-sex couple out of kentucky, shannon and carmen wampler-collins just received a marriage license from the clerk s office, the office of kim davis, the clerk who spent days in jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. this came, this issuing of the marriage license, came after an emotional kim davis said she would not personally authorize licenses that go against her belief but she said her deputies would be allowed to grant those licenses as long as they did not have her name or title on them. davis fought back tears as she stated that position. let s listen. i don t want to have this conflict. i don t want to be in the spotlight. and i certainly don t want to be
fashion some accommodation for clerks so they don t have to put their name on licenses. it sounds like they will take the second option when they get back in session. so the legal issues really are is what happens in this period before they come back, what will a judge rule? jonathan, can a county clerk be compelled in this period, county court say, you have to sign these documents? it is your job to sign them, not just to get in the way of it? i think the judge could have ordered that. and i m a little surprised that he didn t. i think some judges would have. the judge was desperately trying, this is to his credit, trying to sort of thread this needle. we all understand that ms. davis has deep-seeded religious beliefs, as many americans do. and he was trying as best he could to reach a resolution. i m not too sure this will be a resolution. the other issue, by the way, when you talk about accommodation, the kentucky legislature, if it says that
this state has a law different from most. it does, in fact, require for a valid marriage license to have the signature, the authorization of the clerk. many states don t have that. and, indeed, ms. davis has maintained these licenses are invalid without her signature. the question then is how that issue would ever go before a court. they obviously will take this to someone who will officiate the wedding. and that person very likely supports same-sex marriage and is likely to accept that license. but it is possible to see a challenge, including by someone like davis or others who ask for a thing called a declaratory judgment, to go to a court and say, we want to you declare these licenses are not in confirmty with kentucky law. the second issue is whether the kentucky legislature will get involved. they re not in session now. but there is two questions there. whether they want to support davis or whether they want to
rowan county clerk kim davis. showing you live images of what s taking place there as people gather outside of the jail which is in carter county and they re going to be holding a rally coming up at 3:00 p.m. eastern time. davis spent several days, five nights in jail, contempt for refusing to issue marriage licenses. her attorneys are scheduled to address the media coming up shortly. it was moments ago, though, that republican presidential candidates ted cruz and mike huckabee arrived to meet with davis. huckabee will attend the rally coming up this afternoon. earlier, msnbc s sarah dallof spoke with some of the protester there is to support davis. the law s the law. so i mean, if you do not want to obey the law and you think that s not right, maybe you should not be in office. i don t think she should have been sentenced to jail. i think she should have been issued a fine and had to resign her job. i don t think she should have
