The Supreme Court will privately weigh whether to hear Kim Davis’ appeal seeking to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, even as signals suggest the justices are unlikely to revisit same‑sex marriage. A decision on the longshot bid could come Monday or be held for weeks. Davis, a former Kentucky clerk once jailed for defying a court order, also asks the court to shield her from damages on First Amendment grounds after the 6th Circuit rejected her claim. With the court more conservative, advocates voice unease, while some justices cite reliance interests and stare decisis, and opponents vow to press on.
