Supreme Court Unlikely to Overturn Marriage Equality | JQJO

A long-shot Supreme Court petition by former Kentucky clerk Kim Davis seeking to overturn marriage equality is causing unwarranted panic. Davis's petition, focusing on her refusal to issue same-sex marriage licenses, has almost no chance of success. The court is unlikely to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, as the central issue is religious liberty as a defense against unlawful discrimination, not marriage equality itself. While LGBTQ+ rights remain under attack through other means, the current Supreme Court doesn't seem poised to overturn same-sex marriage.
