WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.

The justices, without comment, turned away an appeal from Kim Davis, the former Kentucky court clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples after the high court's 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges.

Davis had been trying to get the court to overturn a lower-court order for her to pay $360,000 in damages and attorney's fees to a couple denied a marriage license.

Her lawyers repeatedly invoked the words of Justice Clarence Thomas, who alone among the nine justices has called for erasing the same-sex marriage ruling.

The irony of this four-times married harpy thinking she has the moral authority to determine who should or shouldn't get married. :rolleyes:

No one was ever been denied marriage because they were gay.

I was always of the opinion that the word "marriage" should be an unofficial, common usage term and also possibly a religious term.

The legal term should be "civil union," and any two people should be able to legally form one.

My two cents, anyway.

Good to see since it's clearly a 14th Amendment issue....and another reason the treasonous, American-hating MAGAts want to strip the 11th through the 27th Amendments out of the Constitution.

Supreme Court rejects bid to overturn same-sex marriage ruling​

The Supreme Court rejected a long-shot effort Monday to overturn its ruling guaranteeing same-sex marriage nationwide.

Former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis directly asked the justices to overrule the 2015 landmark decision after a jury awarded damages to a couple whom Davis refused to issue a marriage license.

“The Court can and should fix this mistake,” her attorneys wrote in court filings.

In a brief order, the justices declined to take up Davis’s appeal, alongside dozens of other petitions up for consideration at the justices’ weekly closed-door conference. There were no noted dissents.

Court-watchers viewed Davis’s appeal as a long-shot effort, but it sparked trepidation among LGBTQ rights groups, since several conservative justices who dissented in the decade-old case remain on the court.

It begs the question of why government is involved in the bedroom, much less marriage between consenting adults, in the first place.

The Republicans pushed "civil unions" as an alternative for gay marriage, but the tax laws and rights, such as survivorship, did not match up and they refused to make them equal.

feminists want the government involved so they can take half the mans' shit when it's over.

:truestory:
 
Why do they even care who marries?
It's part of their agenda for having "landed" (i.e., rich) Euro-American males ruling the nation. You know, just like the Good Ol' Days. :)

I call them tyrants. More forgiving people might call them "busybodies". Regardless, they are both evil and anti-American. Most would disappear into a ditch with a large hole in the back of their heads if they got their Civil War started.
