flag The Supreme Court decides whether to hear Kim Davis’s appeal challenging same-sex marriage legalization and a $360,000 ruling against her.

flag The U.S. Supreme Court is deciding whether to hear a longshot appeal from former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in 2015, citing religious beliefs. flag Davis, jailed for contempt, is challenging a lower court’s $360,000 damages and fees ruling, seeking to overturn the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. flag Her legal team cites Justice Clarence Thomas, the only current justice to call for reversing Obergefell, though other dissenters from the original ruling have not advocated for reversal. flag Justice Amy Coney Barrett has acknowledged the court may revisit past decisions but noted same-sex marriage’s deep societal integration. flag The justices are expected to announce their decision by Monday.
