Ten years after the Supreme Court extended marriage rights to same-sex couples nationwide, the justices this fall will consider for the first time whether to take up a case that explicitly asks them to overturn that decision.
Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who was jailed for six days in 2015 after refusing to issue marriage licenses to a gay couple on religious grounds, is appealing a $100,000 jury verdict for emotional damages plus $260,000 for attorneys fees.
In a petition for writ of certiorari filed last month, Davis argues First Amendment protection for free exercise of religion immunizes her from personal liability for the denial of marriage licenses.
Who is the injured party here? She clearly refused to do her job.
You don’t understand, she was forced to undergo social contact with… shudder GAYS!
Injured parties are for legal systems that actually care about the truth.

Because it’s super easy to get the ruling you want when no one is on the other side to call bullshit on your claims.
