Supreme Court Hits 'No Thanks' On Kim Davis’ Remix of Love Rights
KEY POINTS
- •On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to hear Kim Davis' appeal regarding same-sex marriage rights.
- •Davis, a former Kentucky county clerk, previously refused to issue a marriage license to a gay couple in 2015.
- •Her appeal argued that the Obergefell v. Hodges decision was fundamentally flawed and harmful.
In a legal episode that could have been the Supreme Court’s most dramatic reality show since 'House of Cards' lost internet chill, the justices on Monday casually declined Kim Davis’ 2025 encore to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. Davis, the infamous 2015 ex-Kentucky county clerk who went viral for refusing marriage licenses to gay couples, called the 2015 decision 'egregiously wrong' and 'deeply damaging.' The Court, keeping tighter lips than a lockdown diary, didn’t even bother issuing a tiny explanation. So, for now, love is still apparently legal coast to coast, and Kim’s appeal remains the ultimate ‘try again later’ memo.
