Ten years after the Supreme Court extended marriage rights to same-sex couples nationwide, the justices this fall will consider for the first time whether to take up a case that explicitly asks them to overturn that decision.
Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who was jailed for six days in 2015 after refusing to issue marriage licenses to a gay couple on religious grounds, is appealing a $100,000 jury verdict for emotional damages plus $260,000 for attorneys fees.
In a petition for writ of certiorari filed last month, Davis argues First Amendment protection for free exercise of religion immunizes her from personal liability for the denial of marriage licenses.
I worked in retail and there was this one idiot that ended up getting fired because he couldn’t get over his racism. He was moaning about immigrants on Facebook afterwards. He didn’t lose his job to immigrants, he lost his job because he was being rude to Asian people who definitely weren’t interested in his job, as they almost certainly already had better paying once.
These people are their own worst enemies.
