The Supreme Court declines to hear Kim Davis appeal, upholding the landmark decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide. Davis, the former Kentucky clerk who defied the ruling, must now pay $360,000 in damages and fees to a couple denied a marriage license. Despite Justice Thomas call for overturning the ruling, other dissenting justices have not advocated for it. Justice Barrett suggests same-sex marriage might be different from other rulings due to its impact on families. The Human Rights Campaign president praises the Courts decision, emphasizing the consequences of disregarding constitutional rights.
