Supreme Court rejects case seeking to overturn right to same-sex marriage. I was one of many observers who predicted this. Obergfell v. Hodges is highly unlikely to be reversed, and it was never going to happen in this dog of a case: reason.com/volokh/2025/...

Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Casing Seeking to Overturn Obergefell

This result is unsurprising, and was predicted by most analysts, including myself.

Good! But not at all surprising. The media run-up to this was unnecessarily inflammatory.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 8h

Breaking news: The Supreme Court has declined to consider a challenge to its landmark 2015 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.

The challenge came from a county clerk who stopped issuing marriage licenses shortly after the ruling.

Supreme Court won’t hear challenge to landmark gay marriage ruling

The announcement indicates there is not an appetite among the high court’s conservative majority to revisit one of the court’s most significant decisions in recent years.
