US supreme court rejects call to overturn decision legalizing same-sex marriage (www.theguardian.com)

The supreme court on Monday rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.

The justices, without comment, turned away an appeal from Kim Davis, the former Kentucky court clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples after the high court’s 2015 ruling in Obergefell v Hodges.

Davis had been trying to get the court to overturn a lower-court order for her to pay $360,000 in damages and attorney’s fees to a couple denied a marriage license.

Told ya they'd drop it with no comment. It's a weak case to begin with and not one they want to set precedent upon.

It was weak, but the fact it gained so much support is troubling. There are well funded interest groups who look for worthy contenders to puppet against the supreme court for these kinds of challenges.
