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 irony of them “defending” US citizenship like it’s some holy sacrament reserved for the elite, while, in the process and because of all their actions, the country is imploding into the filthiest fucking piece of shit on the planet that no one will want to touch with a ten foot pole anyways… Get me the fuck out of here.
