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.
In this case we have a woman claiming to have "deeply held religious beliefs" about marriage when it comes to preventing other people from getting married while at the same time having several divorces under her belt. Her actions dont mimic her beliefs when it comes to her own life so they can't be deeply held beliefs. These beliefs only seem to matter when she has no skin in the game by applying them to other people's lives.
This is no different than one of those anti-gay politicians who gets caught blowing dudes in a public restroom. They aren't really their deeply held beliefs they're just lies to give cover to their bigotry as I mentioned previously.
