Ermold and Moore sued, along with several other couples. Davis lost, and spent five days in jail for refusing to follow a court order.<\/p>\n<p>The state legislature passed a law that removed county clerks\u2019 names from licenses. A district judge ruled this satisfied Ermold and Moore\u2019s lawsuit and dismissed the case. But they appealed, saying they wanted Davis to pay damages.<\/p>\n<p>A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday the case could continue.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/gay-couple-suit-against-kentucky-clerk-kim-davis-can-proceed\/\" target=\"_blank\">Associated Press<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A federal appeals court says a couple\u2019s lawsuit against Kentucky County Clerk Kim Davis &#8211; who refused to issue them<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":17929,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
