The U.S. Supreme Court will reportedly meet behind closed doors Friday (Nov. 7) to consider an appeal from former Kentucky clerk Kim Davis. She is urging the justices to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 decision legalizing same-sex “marriage” nationwide, according to multiple media reports. Davis was jailed in 2015 for five days after refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, and was ordered to pay $360,000 in damages and fees. Her petition calls Obergefell “egregiously wrong.”
The court could announce its decision on hearing the case as soon as Monday (Oct. 10).
