Former Kentucky Clerk Urges Supreme Court to Reconsider Same-Sex Marriage in Religious Liberty Case
KENTUCKY, UNITED STATES, AUG 12 – Kim Davis challenges the 2015 ruling on religious grounds, appealing damages of $360,000; Gallup finds 70% of Americans support same-sex marriage despite political shifts.
- The U.S. Supreme Court faces a decision in the coming months on Kim Davis’s petition urging reversal of Obergefell v. Hodges.
- Her filing asserts Davis argues her actions are protected by the First Amendment’s free exercise clause and that Obergefell v. Hodges was `egregiously wrong`.
- Lower courts have rejected Davis’s defense, and attorneys for David Ermold and David Moore said they are confident the Supreme Court will decline review.
- If granted review, oral arguments could take place next spring with a decision by June 2026, and existing marriages remain valid under the 2022 Respect for Marriage Act.
- Amid efforts in at least nine states to restrict LGBTQ+ marriage rights, the Court's decision could shift the issue back to the states.
