Supreme Court rejects bid to overturn same-sex marriage ruling - Clover - Nov 10 2025

Quote:The Supreme Court rejected a long-shot effort Monday to overturn its ruling guaranteeing same-sex marriage nationwide.
Former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis directly asked the justices to overrule the 2015 landmark decision after a jury awarded damages to a couple whom Davis refused to issue a marriage license.
“The Court can and should fix this mistake,” her attorneys wrote in court filings.
In a brief order, the justices declined to take up Davis’s appeal, alongside dozens of other petitions up for consideration at the justices’ weekly closed-door conference. There were no noted dissents.
Piss off, Kim Davis. Can't believe I still have to hear her name a decade later since she discriminated against a same-sex couple wanting to get married.

Conservatives are really reaching if they have to dig back 10 years and produce Kim Davis as a cultural hero/touchpoint for their cause.

Ya know what the really sad part is here? That I'm actually surprised they didn't opportunistically take it up. I've found this Supreme Court tough to underestimate lately.

Yeah... It was honestly, depressingly, a shock that I got to feel relieved that they let the previous decision stand. Like, I'll take the win, but it sucks we're even at this stage...
