In 2020, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that Kim Davis was “one of the first victims of this Court’s cavalier treatment of religion in its Obergefell decision, but she will not be the last.”

As you may recall, Obergefell v. Hodges was the landmark case in which an activist High Court invented the right to “same-sex marriage” out of thin air.

Liberty Counsel is poised to overturn this unconstitutional opinion.

“Since Obergefell,” Justice Thomas continued, “parties have continually attempted to label people of good will as bigots merely for refusing to alter their religious beliefs in the wake of prevailing orthodoxy.”

This is exactly what happened to Kim Davis. And now her case may well wind up at the U.S. Supreme Court, where the High Court will decide if Christians can be civilly sued for exercising their lawful religious accommodation rights. This is the only case in the country that can bring a direct challenge to Obergefell and restore the Constitution.

Back in 2015, just after the Obergefell ruling came down, Kim followed the proper legal procedures to claim her legal right to religious accommodation. 

David Ermold and his boyfriend heard about Kim’s actions, and traveled to Kim’s office multiple times for the sole purpose of harassing and humiliating her.

The two men refused to get their marriage license from any of the seven nearby Clerks’ offices. Instead, the two men kept driving to Kim’s office, insisting the soft-spoken Christian woman forfeit her rights. They filmed every encounter of their harassment, posting the videos to social media, and gaining internet “fame” for painting Kim as a bigot.

When Kim refused to deny the commands of the Lord who radically transformed this once-broken woman and relinquish her religious freedom rights, Judge Bunning sent Kim to prison for six days.

Furious over Kim’s plight and Bunning’s ill-conceived punishment, the Kentucky legislature passed a state law reiterating the fact that every KY clerk and public official has a right to religious accommodation.

That SHOULD have been the end of the story. But David Ermold and his boyfriend sought another way to try to punish Kim.

David and his partner SUED Kim for daring to exercise her federal and state guaranteed rights to religious freedom.

“I hate that word accommodation,” plaintiff Ermold told reporters, referring to the religious accommodation rights Kim Davis claimed to avoid violating the tenets of her faith in the performance of her job duties.

Judge Bunning has now handed down a judgment of 360,000 dollars against Kim. This includes a 100,000-dollar windfall gift to the Ermold plaintiffs for “hurt feelings,” along with 260,000 dollars in fees and costs.

If a person can be civilly sued as an individual for exercising their state and federal religious freedom rights, are those still rights?

That’s the battle Liberty Counsel is fighting on Kim’s behalf.

But Kim’s case may have an even larger impact, for I believe that her case may well overturn Obergefell v. Hodges itself — the infamous ruling that imposed same-sex “marriage” on the nation in the first place.

This lawsuit confirms Justice Thomas’ remarks about the Obergefell ruling. The LGBTQ cult is not satisfied to “co-exist” with opposing views. Instead, the LGBTQ agenda seeks to abolish and eliminate all religious freedom rights that might make them feel bad about their misguided choices. And that’s just WRONG.

Liberty Counsel is prepared to defend Kim and America’s precious religious freedom all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Over the past 35 years, we have won 39 cases we argued or briefed before the U.S. Supreme Court. In the last four years alone, our work helped overturn Roe v. Wade, restore the public display of the 10 Commandments, and overturn the dreadful Lemon law that silenced religion and religious people’s rights.

We’re not done winning yet! But we need YOUR direct financial support to continue down the path of victory.

Liberty Counsel never charges our clients. Instead, they rely on friends like YOU to fund the fight against government tyranny and the censorship of Christianity in public life. A special Challenge Grant will DOUBLE the impact of every donation to our legal fund today. Please give generously.

God bless you as you give!
