US EditionSupreme Court rejects bid to overturn same-sex marriage ruling
The Supreme Court left intact a $100,000 damages award against Kim Davis for denying marriage licenses, rejecting her First Amendment defense and request to overturn Obergefell.
- On Nov 10, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a brief order refusing to hear Kim Davis's appeal on Monday, turning away the petition without comment and recording no public dissents.
- Davis petitioned the court, asking it to reconsider Obergefell v. Hodges and erase that precedent while seeking to undo a $360,000 damages judgment, her lawyers citing Justice Clarence Thomas.
- In 2015 she defied court orders and was jailed until staff issued licenses and removed her name, and the Kentucky legislature later removed county clerks' names from marriage licenses.
- Civil-Rights groups immediately celebrated, with Human Rights Campaign president Kelley Robinson praising the justices and the American Civil Liberties Union stating Monday, `Our freedom to marry remains the law of the land`.
- The Sixth Circuit earlier affirmed the judgment, finding Davis acted as a public official when she denied a license, and the justices discussed the petition but fell short of the four votes needed to take the case on Monday.
