Abstract On June 26, 2015, a divided Supreme Court ruled in the landmark case Obergefell v. Hodges. Hodges that same-sex couples could now marry nationwide. At the time of the split ruling there were 9 justices on the Supreme Court, 5 of the justices were Republicans and the remaining 4 were Democrats. In high-profile cases, judges are out of the question of voting along party lines.

Their request is to respect it, to respect it so deeply that we try to find its fulfillment ourselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in solitude, excluded from one of civilization's oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution guarantees them this right (Corn,2015).” written byAfter Davis' arrest, clerks began issuing marriage licenses again. After 5 days in jail Nancy Davis was released and ordered not to interfere with the deputy's release of the marital liquescence. Davis asked deputies to continue issuing the license, but they were changed. David removed the county name, his name and his signature, potentially making the document invalid. No reproductions have been made to alter the licenses. I wish someone would punish her and not just sweep it under the rug. While I personally disagree with Nancy Davis, in the United States of America she has the freedom to believe whatever she wants to believe. Not once was she asked to believe that a marriage is not just between a man and a woman. woman, all the citizens of Rowan County want Davis to stop burying what they believe. He is an elected state official governed by the Kentucky Constitution. The Kentucky Constitution is modeled on that of the United States
