Supreme Court to weigh longshot bid to overturn same-sex marriage precedent

The Supreme Court will meet behind closed doors Friday to consider a longshot bid to overturn its decade-old same-sex marriage precedent, an appeal that is churning fear among some LGBTQ advocates even though the justices themselves have repeatedly signaled little appetite for reopening the landmark decision.

The pending appeal comes from Kim Davis, a former county clerk from Kentucky who refused to issue marriage licenses after the Supreme Court’s blockbuster 2015 decision, Obergefell v. Hodges, allowed same-sex couples to legally marry. Davis, who has fought her case for years, has directly asked the court to jettison that decision.

“The time has come,” Davis argued in a recent filing, for a “course correction.”

The Supreme Court will meet Friday, like it often does this time of year, to consider which appeals it will hear in coming months and which it will deny. The Davis appeal is one of dozens of cases the justices will consider in that private meeting, and the court could announce as soon as Monday what it will do with the case.

1. Being pessimistic, cynical, and realistic, I feel that if SCOTUS

overturned the precedent of Roe v Wade, then they can do it again with Obergefell v. Hodges and any other case already ruled by SCOTUS.

Brown v Board of Education? Nice while it lasted.

2. I am furious.

And how many marriages has that woman had? Yes, we should all live by her religious faith.

3. Kim Davis, who filed to overturn gay marriage, claims to believe in the sanctity of marriage.

4. So, since Gorsuch was the deciding vote then, how does HE feel now about his fellow a'hole RW justices wanting

to repudiate his vote and opinion?
