The US Supreme Court is preparing to decide whether to revisit the landmark ruling that legalised same-sex marriage across the country, in a move that could reignite one of America's fiercest social debates.
The justices are expected to consider the appeal of Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who gained notoriety in 2015 for refusing to issue marriage licences to same-sex couples. Her case does more than challenge her personal liability — it asks the Court to reconsider Obergefell v. Hodges, the ruling that granted same-sex couples the constitutional right to marry.
