Supreme Court declines to hear case on constitutionality of same-sex marriage

Waiter, please send a bottle of your finest wine to the celebration at Pete & Chasten's table. And a bottle of badly corked sour grape wine to that hypocritical, 3 times divorced 'champion of holy matrimony' Kim Davis's slop tray behind the dumpster.

The Supreme Court on Monday morning turned down a request from Kim Davis, a former county clerk in Kentucky, to reconsider its 2015 decision recognizing a constitutional right to same-sex marriage. In a brief, unsigned order, the justices rejected Davis’ petition for review of a ruling by a federal appeals court upholding an award of $100,000 to a gay couple to whom she had refused to issue a marriage license. That petition had also asked the justices to overrule the 2015 decision, Obergefell v. Hodges, arguing that a right to same-sex marriage “had no basis in the Constitution.”

As is generally the case when it denies petitions for review, the court did not provide any explanation for its decision not to hear Davis’ case. If any justices disagreed with the decision not to take up the case, they did not note that disagreement publicly.


Pay up, Kim! Maybe your ex-husbands will contribute to your fund to pay the lawsuit you lost.
