(The Dissenter) The petition to the Supreme Court was simple in intent, if not in expectation. It was to hear a case that could open the door to revisiting Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 decision that invented a constitutional right to “same-sex marriage.”
Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, sought vindication for acting on her conscience. Her appeal wasn’t just about her—it was about the legal fiction that redefined the oldest institution on earth.
But the nation’s High Court refused to hear it.
The Court’s silence has ignited speculation across the political spectrum. Some say the case was too weak a “vehicle,” entangled in procedural technicalities rather than a direct constitutional challenge. Others argue the justices—particularly after the firestorm of Dobbs—are wary of inflaming another cultural battle.
