"The core legal issue with Kim Davis was more of a wrong decision, or tort as described by the Federalist, and not a broader issue to overturn a previous federal decision. And the writer feels there may be a stronger case in the future, " says Eugene Delgaudio, president of Public Advocate.

Among those the court declined to consider is a case (Davis v. Ermold) involving former Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk Kim Davis..................................
While it's true that Davis' petition to SCOTUS asked the justices to consider whether Obergefell should be overturned, there were many more prominent factors central to her case that made it highly unlikely the court would use it as a vehicle to revisit its ill-fated 2015 decision...................."
