Supreme Court Rejects Kim Davis’ Request to Revisit Same-Sex Marriage Ruling

The U.S. Supreme Court has officially denied Kim Davis’ request to reevaluate its landmark 2015 decision that affirmed the legality of same-sex marriage. Davis, a Kentucky county clerk who famously refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, had filed a petition seeking a review of the ruling. The court’s decision to maintain the original ruling underscores the finality of the legal precedent established in 2015. The case, which became a symbol of the broader conflict between religious liberty and civil rights, has now been closed, with the Supreme Court affirming the rights of same-sex couples to marry.
