The Supreme Court could consider whether to overturn its landmark ruling legalizing same-sex marriage this term after the court was asked to hear a case on the issue—but the court hasn’t yet taken any action on the case, and it remains to be seen whether they’ll take it up, which they’re not required to do.
A case was filed at the Supreme Court in July that expressly asks the court to overturn its precedent in Obergefell v. Hodges, a 2015 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
The case was brought by Kim Davis, a Christian former clerk who gained notoriety and briefly landed in jail in 2015 for refusing to issue marriage certificates to same-sex couples following the Obergefell ruling.
