The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday (Nov. 10) reportedly declined to revisit Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 decision that legalized same-sex ‘marriage’ nationwide, according to news outlets. The high court rejected an appeal from former Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples citing Christian beliefs. She also had sought to overturn lower-court rulings ordering her to pay damages and legal fees.
Liberty Counsel, representing Davis, argued her First Amendment rights were violated. The justices denied the appeal without comment or dissent.
