A decade after the landmark 2015 decision, Kim Davis, a Kentucky county clerk who was jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses, has asked the court to reconsider its opinion. The petition, filed by Davis, could lead to a major shift in the court’s stance on gay marriage rights. With a conservative majority now on the bench, many experts believe the justices will decline to review the case, citing concerns about precedent and reliance interests. However, advocates for same-sex marriage argue that the decision is solid ground and that public support has grown significantly since 2015. The court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges established a constitutional right to same-sex marriage nationwide, but some justices have signaled their willingness to revisit this landmark ruling.
