The United States Supreme Court declined on Monday, November 10, to hear a case challenging the decade-old landmark ruling granting a constitutional right nationwide to same-sex marriage. The conservative-dominated court, as is customary, did not provide any explanation for its decision to reject the case.
Kim Davis, a former county clerk in Kentucky who defied a court order and refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, had asked the court to overturn its decision legalizing gay marriage. Davis was ordered to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages and legal fees to a gay couple who were among those she refused a marriage license.
