Kim Davis, the former Kentucky clerk who violated the rights of a gay couple, has petitioned the Supreme Court to revisit its landmark decision on same-sex marriage – slamming the ruling as a “legal fiction.” NY Post Assistant Editorial Page Editor Brooke Rogers shares this story.
Davis, 59, served five days in jail in 2015 after she refused to issue a marriage license to gay couple David Ermold and David Moore shortly after the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in the Obergefell v. Hodges case.
The former Rowan County, Ky., clerk was subsequently ordered to pay a $100,000 jury verdict for emotional damages and $260,000 in attorneys’ fees to the married couple.
She asked the high court – in a 90-page filing last month – to review a lower court’s 2022 finding that she violated Ermold and Moore’s constitutional right to marry and revisit its decision in the same-sex marriage case.
