Supreme Court to weigh longshot bid to overturn same-sex marriage precedent By John Fritze 4 hr ago
The Supreme Court will meet behind closed doors Friday to consider a longshot bid to overturn its decade-old same-sex marriage precedent, an appeal that is churning fear among some LGBTQ advocates even though the justices themselves have repeatedly signaled little appetite for reopening the landmark decision.
The pending appeal comes from Kim Davis, a former county clerk from Kentucky who refused to issue marriage licenses after the Supreme Court’s blockbuster 2015 decision, Obergefell v. Hodges, allowed same-sex couples to legally marry. Davis, who has fought her case for years, has directly asked the court to jettison that decision.
“The time has come,” Davis argued in a recent filing, for a "course correction
Evil spawn, the lot of them. Their evil religion does not give them the right to bury the rights of others.
The whole debate is that the clerk was in court as an individual, not as a clerk. It is the dumbest shit, but this dumb shit court will entertain it because they suck hard.
This SCOTUS has refused to hear, usually without comment, dozens of cases, and yes, even cases that could have gone against LGBT folks.
Be shocked if they take this one. Her case is far too thin to set precedent on. Even if SCOTUS is hellbent on nullifying gay marriage, this ain’t the case they want.
If they OK this, I will become a county clerk and refuse to fill out marriage paperwork for anyone who isn’t a staunch atheist. Just stop letting Christian assholes marry at all if they want to keep it for themselves.
