Supreme Court to weigh longshot bid to overturn same

(CNN) — The Supreme Court will meet behind closed doors Friday to consider a longshot bid to overturn its decade-old same-sex marriage precedent , an appeal that is churning fear among some LGBTQ advocates even though the justices themselves have repeatedly signaled little appetite for reopening the landmark decision.

The pending appeal comes from Kim Davis , a former county clerk from Kentucky who refused to issue marriage licenses after the Supreme Court’s blockbuster 2015 decision, Obergefell v. Hodges , allowed same-sex couples to legally marry. Davis, who has fought her case for years, has directly asked the court to jettison that decision.

“The time has come,” Davis argued in a recent filing, for a “course correction.”
