Nearly a decade after the Extreme Court ruled that people can marry the ones they love, even if they are of the same gender, the FLDS compound attired, marriage certificate denier, and general loathsome person, Kim Davis, is back in the news.
On Friday, The Extreme Court met for a closed-door meeting to consider whether to take up a case that asks them to upend the court’s landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage a decade ago.
Kim Davis, who has been divorced three times and married four, has become one of the nation’s most steadfast defenders of “biblical marriage.”
Davis spent five days in jail after the Supreme Court legalized marriage equality because she refused to issue marriage licenses as part of her role as county clerk in Rowan County, Kentucky. Citing her Christian beliefs, Davis told one same-sex couple, David Ermold and David Moore, that she was acting “under God’s authority” and that they could get married in a different county. The couple quickly sued Davis, though it wasn’t until 2023 that a jury determined she needed to award $100,000 in damages to Moore and Ermold, as well as pay $260,000 in attorney’s fees.
Davis appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, arguing that she couldn’t be liable because issuing a license to a gay couple would have violated her right to practice her religion. She lost her appeal in March.
So in July, she filed a petition to the Supreme Court, which she had done once before. She argued the free exercise of religion clause in the First Amendment shields her from being personally liable for the denial of marriage licenses.
Kim Davis (and attacks on the 2012 federal legalization of gay marriage) won't go away.
