US EditionSupreme Court weighs longshot appeal to overturn decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide
- On November 7, the U.S. Supreme Court will meet privately to consider whether to review Kim Davis's challenge to Obergefell v. Hodges, with oral arguments possible by June.
- After lower courts rejected her claims, Davis renewed appeals asking the high court to revisit Obergefell v. Hodges, arguing she should not be personally liable and citing harm to religious liberty.
- Jim Obergefell warned the precedent he helped secure is now on a precarious path and said several hundred thousand queer couples married since 2015 have experienced joy from their unions.
- If the Court overturns Obergefell, marriage authority would return to the states and existing unions would likely be grandfathered, though Ohio could quickly stop issuing same-sex marriage licenses under the Respect for Marriage Act.
- Amid concern about the conservative majority, justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have signaled willingness to reexamine precedents, while a Gallup poll shows 68 support and analysts foresee narrow religious exemptions.
