Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who is in the national spotlight for repeatedly refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, has appealed the ruling that sent her to prison before the 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on Sunday.
In Davis' three-page motion, which is a revised version of an earlier appeal of the judge's order, she did not state any reasons or arguments as to why she should not be put to jail and instead be released, according to the Associated Press.
Davis' Christian beliefs made her stop issuing licenses to same-sex couples. A court order which says that issuing licenses to some and not to others is unconstitutional is what made her stop issuing them altogether.
As a result, four Kentucky couples (two homosexual and two heterosexual) ended up suing Davis after the U.S. Supreme Court declared that same-sex couples have a legal right to marry, HNGN previously reported.
Davis continued to defy court orders, until the Supreme Court declared on Aug. 31 that she can no longer refuse to deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Not long after, she was found in contempt of court and was placed under the custody of U.S. Marshals until she chooses to comply with SCOTUS' ruling.
