Clerk Kim Davis Appeals Order that Put Her in Jail

Kentucky clerk Kim Davis is appealing the court orders that ultimately sent her to jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Davis' lawyers filed the request with the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, asking the court to reverse four lower court rulings, including the one that held her in contempt.

The 126-page filing calls the district court judge's order a "rush to judgment" that trampled the clerk's religious liberty.

The Rowan County clerk spent five nights in jail in September for defying the judge's order.
