Kentucky: Lawmakers Request Judge Withhold Action Against County Clerk Until Legislative Session

Kentucky state Senate President Robert Stivers and House Speaker Greg Stumbo have repeated their request to Governor Besmear to call a special session of the state legislature so they can pass legislation that would resolve the current issue regarding Kim Davis and issuing marriage licenses.

In addition, Stivers filed a motion asking U.S. District Judge David Bunning to wait until the legislature can convene before taking action against Ms. Davis.

Governor Besmear again declined to call the legislature into session, saying Davis is defying the U.S. Supreme Court.

"The General Assembly will convene in four months and can make statutory changes it deems necessary at that time. I see no need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayers' money calling a special session of the General Assembly," Beshear said.
