The Supreme Court declined Monday to reconsider its landmark ruling legalizing gay marriage.
In a brief order, the justices rejected, without comment, Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis’ petition to consider overturning the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision.
Davis, who was briefly jailed after she declined to issue marriage licenses based on a religious objection to the 2015 ruling, urged the justices to reverse Obergefell’s “legal fiction of substantive due process.”
“The damage done by Obergefell’s distortion of the Constitution is reason enough to overturn this opinion and reaffirm the rule of law and the proper role of this Court,” her petition filed by Liberty Counsel stated.
Court watchers believed the petition was a longshot, though it gained widespread media attention.
