70. It does say it in the OP excerpt

In a petition for writ of certiorari filed last month, Davis argues First Amendment protection for free exercise of religion immunizes her from personal liability for the denial of marriage licenses.

I don't know if ABC had reported on it at the time since every day has been a continuous "what fresh hell" day since January 20, 2025, but since this is the 10th anniversary of the decision and further discussion among conservative legal beagles has ensued, this article updates things (including noting the next steps).
