Supreme Court Rejects Kim Davis' Same-Sex Marriage Appeal

The Supreme Court denied Kim Daviss appeal to overturn the 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage, despite her refusal to issue licenses due to her faith. Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk, sought to reverse a lower courts order requiring her to pay damages and attorney fees. Justice Clarence Thomas, who dissented in the original case, has called for the ruling to be erased, but Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito have remained silent or criticized the decision without advocating for its overturn. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who was not on the Court in 2015, has suggested that same-sex marriage might be in a different category than abortion due to reliance on the decision.
