Petitioner Asks SCOTUS To Overturn Its Ill-Fated Obergefell Decision

A Christian petitioner has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to consider a case that could potentially overturn its disastrous 2015 ruling on so-called “gay marriage.”

Throughout the past few days, numerous outlets have published articles on a petition recently filed with the high court by former Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk Kim Davis. According to Liberty Counsel — a Christian organization representing Davis — the former clerk was previously “jailed, sued, and held personally liable post-[Obergefell v. Hodges] for her sincerely held religious beliefs on marriage.”

In Obergefell, the Supreme Court ruled (5-4) that the due process clause “of the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees the right to marry as one of the fundamental liberties it protects, and that analysis applies to same-sex couples in the same manner as it does to opposite-sex couples,” as summarized by Oyez. Put another way, the majority effectively opened the floodgates for “gay marriage” across the country.
