10 years after the Supreme Court extended marriage rights to all same-sex couples, it will consider whether to take a case asking it to overturn the decision.

Ten years after the Supreme Court extended marriage rights to same-sex couples nationwide, the justices this fall will consider for the first time whether to take up a case that explicitly asks them to overturn that decision.

Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who was jailed for six days in 2015 after refusing to issue marriage licenses to a gay couple on religious grounds, is appealing a $100,000 jury verdict for emotional damages plus $260,000 for attorneys fees.

In a petition for writ of certiorari filed last month, Davis argues First Amendment protection for free exercise of religion immunizes her from personal liability for the denial of marriage licenses.

    The tide on Israel is rapidly turning thanks to Trump being in charge.

    Now you know that if you try running a genocidaire again you will not win.

      Wait, you think Trump is being anti-genocide? The guy who relished the concept of ‘Trump Gaza’ after they get those pesky Palestinians out of there? Who said explicitly it should be given over to luxury real estate developers instead of Palestinians?

      Israel is closer to completely the eradication than ever thanks to this administration. Are you dumb? The pedo Dipshit is taking about building a hotel on the stolen land. How so you get “tide is turning” from that?
