January 1, Supreme Court Eyes on Marriage Debate Again

Wyatt’s Take

• Calls to overturn gay marriage ruling are heating up.
• Advocates argue kids deserve a mom and dad.
• The Supreme Court faces pressure, but overturning is a tough road.

Katie Faust says gay marriage changed family rights, calling for a cultural reckoning. Some conservatives now push for the Supreme Court to revisit the landmark case, with hopes the tide could turn.

The Court will soon decide if it will hear Kim Davis’s challenge, the first real shot since the original ruling. Davis, once jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses, wants the high court to undo what she calls a ‘legal fiction.’

Not everyone’s convinced; legal experts see little chance the Court takes this up. The hurdles are steep—four justices must agree to hear it, and five would be needed to overturn the earlier decision.

Chief Justice Roberts’ past dissent shows there’s concern about the Court stepping beyond the law. But even those critical say change will take years, if it happens at all.

Justice Clarence Thomas has sharply criticized the ruling, arguing religious liberty was cast aside. He’s suggested these types of cases might need another look, but others on the Court aren’t signaling the same intent.

Court watchers note it took decades to overturn Roe v. Wade. There isn’t the same groundswell against same-sex marriage, so momentum is slow.

The case brought by Davis has stirred up heavy media coverage and reignited old debates. Some warn that rights could be rolled back, yet America’s support for gay marriage remains high at 68%.

Marriage is not for us to redefine. It’s God’s plan for the world.
