U.S. Supreme Court rejects a case aimed at overturning gay marriage

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear a case seeking to end same-sex marriage, established by a historic ruling in 2015. In a decision without oral argument, the justices chose not to review an appeal stemming from the case most central to challenging this right: Kim Davis, the Rowan County, Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to a same-sex couple on religious grounds. That happened in 2015, shortly after the Court's ruling, and drew wide attention over the debate about the balance between this right and religious freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment. The case involved Davis and the couple David Moore and David Ermold who sued her. The couple has long prevailed in the legal fight since then, but there were doubts whether the Supreme Court could overturn its own precedent and side with Davis and prioritize her religious beliefs. The doubts arose largely for two connected reasons: the Court's conservative tilt after Donald Trump's presidency, during which three justices were nominated and a 6-3 majority was formed; and especially the 2022 abortion ruling that dismantled earlier precedents—and allowed states to set their own rules. In that ruling, the Court's conservative cornerstone Clarence Thomas suggested that other precedents—such as Obergefell v. Hodges, the ruling establishing the right to same-sex marriage—should also be revisited. That possibility, at least for now, is set aside by the Supreme Court's decision on Monday to reject Davis's appeal, which sought to overturn the 2015 ruling.
