Overview

• Liberty Counsel filed a petition in July 2025 urging the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges and return marriage licensing authority to the states.
• The petition argues Obergefell was wrongly decided because it rests on the “legal fiction of substantive due process,” invoking Washington v. Glucksberg and last term’s Dobbs decision.
• The Court has not yet granted certiorari, leaving the challenge active but unresolved.
• Social media figures, including Sam Greisman, condemned Davis’s filing and highlighted her multiple divorces to question her stance on the sanctity of marriage.
• Davis’s legal team dismissed the backlash as “childish,” pointed to her religious accommodation request and to the Court’s conservative dissenters as evidence that Obergefell could be overturned.
