Kim Davis Challenges Same-Sex Marriage Ruling in Federal Court

Former Kentucky clerk seeks to overturn Obergefell decision, citing religious freedom and constitutional grounds

  • Davis's legal team argues the 2015 ruling violates religious rights and lacks constitutional basis.
  • The challenge references Justice Clarence Thomas's views on substantive due process from the Dobbs case.
  • Davis was previously ordered to pay $360,000 in damages for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
  • Public support for same-sex marriage remains high, with 67% of Americans in favor according to a recent poll.
  • The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has yet to decide if it will hear the case.
