The former Rowan County clerk, who was jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, is now represented by Liberty Counsel. This legal team is using the case to challenge and potentially overturn the federal legalization of same-sex marriage.

On Monday, Liberty Counsel filed a brief arguing that Davis should have been granted a religious accommodation for her refusal. Over the past year, Davis has been ordered to pay over $360,000 to a couple she denied a marriage license. Liberty Counsel aims to appeal this decision and ultimately overturn Obergefell v.

Liberty Counsel is classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
