With all due respect, I don't think you or Kayla were listening.
The unspoken but very clear implication is that, if Bunning thought there was a chance she would not comply with that directive, he would not have signed the order. Therefore, she or her attorney has given some kind of agreement, clearly or tacitly, to non-interference or she would still be sitting in the Rowan Country Jail.
If she goes into the office this week or next, whenever she returns to work, and interferes with the issuance of marriage licenses, she will be right back in lock-up. Somehow, regardless of what statements her attorney has made, she has to have given the judge at least the grudging impression she won't interfere.

I'm listening to Fox also, as I said. All they've said is that there is no indication from Davis or her attorney what they will do, but I guarantee you -- as I appear before judges all the time regarding parolees and probationers -- if they detect the slightest indication you're not going to comply with the very letter of their directives, they don't cut you any slack.
You guys can believe what you want, but she'd still be in lockdown if Bunning thought she was going to interfere with licensure. The case isn't over. That doesn't mean she's going to continue refusing to issue licenses, or interfere with her deputies in doing so. It just means "the case isn't over."

Well they wont have her name on it..and they may not be legal in Ky...without her name ...so that federal judge is going to be walking all over state laws to pull this off... He may not be able to do what he thinks he can do and she may not have agreed to what these reporters are suggesting she did?

Ps 37:12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

He's not a judge, he's her lawyer, and that's simply his legal opinion as regards his client, because ... well, she's his client.
But it is perhaps indicative of Davis' next move. She will testify for anyone who wants to allege in a civil suit that the license they receive isn't valid without her signature, and her attorney will probably file the suit for the complainant.
It will still be up to another judge to decide whether that's a valid argument.
