A decade after the Supreme Court recognized same-sex marriage, the justices are weighing whether to hear a petition seeking to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, stemming from Kentucky clerk Kim Davis’s case. Four votes are needed to grant review; a denial could come Monday, with another conference set for Nov. 14 if consideration continues. The petition has stirred alarm amid Trump administration actions affecting L.G.B.T.Q. programs, though many legal experts urge calm. Statements from Justices Barrett and Alito hint at reluctance to revisit the ruling. Davis, ordered to pay $360,000 after refusing licenses, claims First Amendment protection.
