A call to overturn the landmark Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide is on the agenda Friday for the justices’ closed-door conference.

 

Associated Press Supreme Court reporter Mark Sherman says among the new cases the justices are expected to consider is a longshot appeal from Kim Davis, the former Kentucky court clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples following the court’s 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges.

 

“Davis is trying to erase a judgment against her of more than $350,000 that stems from a lawsuit filed by a couple whom Davis refused to marry shortly after the court's 2015 ruling,” Sherman said.

 

Davis is also asking for the landmark ruling to be overturned.

 

The court sometimes overturns its earlier rulings, but only one justice, Clarence Thomas, has called for this ruling to be overturned.

 

Justice Amy Coney Barrett has stated otherwise.

 

“Justice Amy Coney Barrett has said that this is a ruling that maybe should remain in place because so many people, including the same-sex couples and their children, are so dependent on it,” Sherman said.

 

A decision on whether the court will take up the case could come as earlier as Monday.
