WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.

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 had been trying to get the court to overturn a lower court order for her to pay $360,000 in damages and attorney’s fees to a couple whom she denied a marriage license.

The justices could say as early as Monday what they’ll do.

Obergefell was an even more egregious decision than Roe.  The Court does not get to pick and choose which State laws get to be forced on other States.  They ruled that it is OK to subject every other State to Vermont marriage law.  But refuse to do the same when it comes to Texas gun laws or Mississippi abortion laws.
