Good news for once: Supreme Court denies Obergefell appeal

https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/10/politics/supreme-court-same-sex-marriage-obergefell-kim-davis

Real short version: Kim Davis - the Kentucky county clerk that got sued bigly for refusing to license same-sex marriages - filed an appeal with the Supreme Court that was intended to overturn the Court's Obergefell v Hodges decision. The Supremes refused to take it up, which will probably lead to a 55-gallon drum of ketchup being thrown at the White House mess hall wall and vast numbers of rage tweets from the Mighty Wurlitzer.

But if you're a rational person, this is a bit of good news for today.

And get some young progressives with new ideas, political tactics, savvy with tech, know the Constitution and how government works. I believe there’s a lot of talent we can tap. The old guard will say it’s too radical and for them, it just might be but these old ways are not what’s needed in this century. I’m 78 years old and before my demise, I want to go knowing we’re not spinning our wheels and going the way of caving every time we have momentum on our side. We the People. Says it all. O, I’m mighty pissed but I hope we put that energy to good use.

If my Dem Congress critters won’t support a leadership change, I will work locally to find a primary opponent for them.

I’m so over our elected officials not fighting for Americans and our identified values.

It was an appeal of a civil suit awarding Davis damages for refusing to do her job. The fact that she tried to make it about overturning Obergefell does not make it so.
