Kim Davis returned to work Monday morning after being held in jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses. The deeply religious county clerk said that she won't interfere with the issuing of licenses but that the licenses of same-sex couples will not bear her name.

She said she's not sure of the validity of the licenses that have been issued without her name but that there must be a way to accommodate her religious beliefs.

"I hate no one," Davis said. "I love every person. I put my faith and trust in god."
