My News for Class 10/11:
The article discusses the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to reject former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis's appeal challenging the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. Davis was originally refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, citing her religious beliefs, and was later sued for violating their civil rights. Her latest appeal raised concern especially with the Courts 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. These concerns were raised to question when Justice Clarence Thomas made a comment that rulings like Obergefell should be overturned. However, none of the other justices supported his stance and the Court declined his case without comment. While Davis's lawyer vowed to continue his efforts to see Obergefell overturned Justice Samuel Alito (same judge who wrote the abortion decsion) indicated that he does not intend to revist Obergefell.
