LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A former Kentucky county clerk is still fighting to have same-sex marriage overturned.
On Thursday, Liberty Counsel, a religious legal nonprofit, said it asked the Supreme Court to again review Kim Davis’ case.
The nonprofit said the goal is to affirm her constitutional rights and “overturn Obergefell.”
The former Rowan County clerk began denying marriage licenses to same-sex couples after the Supreme Court’s Obergefell v. Hodges decision in 2015. The ruling legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
Davis defied court orders to issue the licenses until a federal judge jailed her for contempt of court in September 2015.
She was released only after her staff issued the licenses on her behalf but removed her name from the form.
The Kentucky Legislature later enacted a law removing the names of all county clerks from state marriage licenses.
In 2023, a federal judge ordered Davis to pay a total of $360,000 in damages and attorney fees to David Ermold and his partner, who had confronted Davis over her defiance.
Davis hopes the Supreme Court will overturn that judgement as well.
The Supreme Court previously declined to hear an appeal from her in 2020.
