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.

    The citizens through marriage thing will definitely be allowed - on a case by case basis, and provided they bring benefit to the country.

    That benefit, of course, will be eugenic based, and entirely centered around women marrying approved American men.

    It’s important to remember that everything is based on eugenics and property.
