Supreme Court Decided Against Overturning Ruling Making Same-Sex Marriages Legal [VIDEO]

Back in August, former Kentucky court clerk Kim Davis asked the Supreme Court to overturn its 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges for same-sex marriage, a landmark Supreme Court case that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, ruling that the Fourteenth Amendment requires all states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.  The Supreme Court thought about and said nah the overturn isn’t going to happen.

According to AP News, the decision came about after Kim Davis, a Kentucky county clerk, had filed an appeal to the high courts after she was ordered to pay $360k in damages to a same-sex couple she had refused to issue a marriage license to in 2015. When Davis refused to give them the license due to her religious beliefs, she violated the 2015 Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage.  Kim Davis thought she had a ruling in the bag, thinking that Justice Clarence Thomas would side with her because he has been against gay marriage.
