The Supreme Court on Friday will consider whether to take up the appeal of former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, who has directly asked the justices to overturn the landmark 2015 decision that extended marriage rights to same-sex couples nationwide.

Davis gained international attention after she refused to issue a marriage license to a gay couple on religious grounds in open defiance of the high court’s ruling and was subsequently jailed for six days. A jury later awarded the couple $100,000 for emotional damages plus $260,000 for attorneys fees.

In a petition for writ of certiorari filed in August, Davis argues First Amendment protection for free exercise of religion immunizes her from personal liability for the denial of marriage licenses.

She also claims the court’s decision in Obergefell v Hodges -- which rooted marriage rights for LGBTQ couples in the 14th Amendment’s due process protections -- was "legal fiction."

So it begins.

After Obergefell the fascist right will go after Lawrence, then Romer v. Evans – making it again constitutional to criminalize homosexuality and to discriminate against gay Americans.

They don't need to overturn Obergfell, just fix it to say a State doesn't have to issue Same Sex Marriage licenses if it doesn't want to, but it has to recognize all legal marriage licenses from other States under full faith and credit.

 

[whitehall]

Maybe she has a shot but it's likely the Court won't take the case.

I would submit this court will take the case.

In the Loving Decision the court should have ruled that the State doesn't have to issue interracial marriage licenses if it doesn't want to, but has to recognize all legal marriages from other States under full faith and credit?

Race is different than the gender composion of the couple?

Race and sex are not the same thing, and the attempts to equate the two are idiotic.

Remember, the Jim Crow states also made it ILLEGAL via miscegenation laws.

It's not OK to discriminate based on race but it is OK to discriminate based on sex?

So silly.

That would work.

But even better would have been for a state to begin issuing same-sex marriage licenses long before Obergafell, and then the Constitution would require other states to recognize them.

But . . . Democratic politicians in the most woke of the woke states never had the courage to do that. NOW that the USSC has decided in favor of gay marriage, they are all proclaiming themselves to be in favor of it. But Obama, Newsom, Curomo, nor any other prominent elected Dem with the power to do so never enacted it.

Cowards, all of them.

I spit on them.

So you can force clergy to perform same sex weddings?

I think some States did pass laws allowing civil unions, and marriages would be next. I have no issue if they are allowed by States via the legislative process, that's the purpose of said process.

That does not make a lick of sense! That would be tantamount overturning it! What the hell is wrong with you people? Just leave it the **** alone. Gay marriage has not and will not destroy society . It has become part of the fabric of society . Most people do not care that there are married gay people in their communities ,

It would be refining it to be far more Constitutional.

Sorry, but the left plowed right past that and proved the domino theory/slippery slope theory correct with all this Trans nonsense.

welcome to the backlash.

By sex I assume that you mean sexual orientation. The fact is that like race, the courts have consistently treated sexual orientation as an innate , immutable characteristic , So you are wrong -wrong- wrong

You people created the trans hysteria after you lost the gay marriage fight because you needed a new and vulnerable group to focus your hate on

They are not the same thing, you are adding the subset of "immutable characteristic" which is meaningless.

 

[martybegan]

Nope, your side started demanding acceptance and celebration instead of asking for tolerance.

Ask this woman what she thinks of men in women's rooms.

Clergy isn't forced to perform same sex weddings, clergy isn't forced to do interracial marriages either.
