Rowan County clerk Kim Davis is facing yet another legal battle.
Wednesday, attorneys for Liberty Counsel presented oral arguments urging against reinstating one of the lawsuits against Davis.
In 2015, Davis was jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
The case made national headlines and Davis eventually came out on top, with many calling her a religious rights hero.
Ermold v. Davis was dismissed, along with three other cases, after the Kentucky state legislature amended the marriage license process.
They repealed the requirement that the county clerk’s name and signature must appear on marriage licenses.
David Ermold, the plaintiff in the case, did receive his marriage license. But according to Davis’ attorney, that isn’t enough for Ermond.
“The Ermold plaintiffs are not satisfied with the marriage license they received while Kim Davis was in jail,” said Liberty Counsel Assistant Vice President of Legal Affairs Roger Gannam.
“Their vain claims for money and attention were rightfully dismissed, and the court should deny their vindictive attempt to take away the religious liberty victory Kim Davis secured for all Americans who want to perform public service without giving up their constitutional rights,” he said.
Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union was denied the right to recover costs it incurred in the lawsuit against Davis.
