Hodges Ruling credited with the creation of \u2018Right to Same-Sex Marriage\u2019 in USA, heavily criticized for its \u201cruinous consequence for religious liberty\u201d"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS): <\/strong>While denying the issuance of the writ of certiorari as prayed by Kim Davis, a former county clerk in the Commonwealth of Kentucky in relation to the lawsuits accusing her of violating the constitutional rights of same sex couples, the Court went on to highlight the problematic implications of the SCOTUS\u2019 decision in <em>Obergefell <\/em>v. <em>Hodges, <\/em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/Xk5kEBfI\">2015 SCC OnLine US SC 6<\/a> <\/strong>wherein the Court read a right to same-sex marriage into the Fourteenth Amendment, even though \u201cthat right is found nowhere in the text\u201d. In the instant order which was exceedingly critical of <em>Obergefell <\/em>v. <em>Hodges <\/em>ruling, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, JJ., observed that, \u201cThis petition provides a stark re\u00adminder of the consequences of <em>Obergefell<\/em>. By choosing to privilege a novel constitutional right over the religious lib\u00aderty interests explicitly protected in the First Amendment, and by doing so undemocratically, this Court has created a problem that only it can fix. Until then, <em>Obergefell <\/em>will con\u00adtinue to have \u201cruinous consequences for religious liberty.\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kim Davis a county clerk and a devout Christian was responsible for authorisation of marriage li\u00adcenses. When she began her tenure as clerk, Davis\u2019 sincerely held religious beliefs\u2014that marriage exists between one man and one woman\u2014corresponded with the definition of marriage under Ken\u00adtucky Law. However, as a result of this Court\u2019s alteration of the Constitution, Davis found herself faced with a dilemma to choose between her reli\u00adgious beliefs and her job. The Judges noted that, \u201cShe chose to follow her faith, was sued almost immediately for violating the constitutional rights of same-sex couples\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, JJ., in their observations were highly disapproving of the manner in which the Right to Same-Sex Marriage was read into the Constitution. They noted, \u201cDavis may have been one of the first victims of this Court\u2019s inconsiderate treatment of religion in its <em>Obergefell <\/em>deci\u00adsion, but she will not be the last. <strong>Due to <em>Obergefell<\/em>, those with sincerely held religious beliefs concerning marriage will find it increasingly difficult to participate in society without running afoul of <em>Obergefell<\/em>. <em>Obergefell <\/em>enables courts and governments to brand religious adherents who believe that marriage is be\u00adtween one man and one woman as bigots, <\/strong>making their re\u00adligious liberty concerns that much easier to dismiss. In other words, <strong><em>Obergefell <\/em>was read to suggest that being a public official with traditional Christian values was legally tantamount to unpleasant discrimination toward homosexuals\u201d. <\/strong>[Kim Davis v.
