The Supreme Court confirmed Monday it had rejected a long-shot bid by Kim Davis, the former Kentucky court clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to a gay couple, to get the justices to reconsider the court’s 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.
Davis, 59, petitioned the justices in July to review a lower court’s 2022 finding that she violated David Ermold and David Moore’s constitutional right to marry.
Four justices would have had to support hearing the case for oral arguments to be scheduled.
