SCOTUS Signals It Is Ready to Review Kim Davis Case 

Orders opposition to respond by Sept. 8, 2025  

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the LGBTQ plaintiffs to respond to Liberty Counsel’s petition. The rapid sequence of actions by the High Court leads me to believe there is a strong interest in this case. If the Court takes this case, it will be a blockbuster that will send shockwaves. LGBTQ advocates have already expressed concern.  

By now, you know the story. Two LGBTQ men received a 360,000-dollar judgment against Kim Davis because she dared to use her constitutional and legal RIGHT to religious freedom. The case of Davis v. Ermold before the High Court could change the course of history. 

If a person can be personally sued for using their religious freedom rights, then America has no religious freedom rights at all.

Liberty Counsel filed a compelling legal petition with the High Court on July 27, 2025. The case was placed on the docket on August 1. The ACLU waived its response on August 4 (a not uncommon action). However, on August 6, the Court set the case for conference, and on August 7, the Court ORDERED the ACLU to reply by September 8. 

This is a remarkable, lightning-fast demand from the Court, which indicates the High Court is interested in this case.  

The two key issues before the Court are: 

1. Does Kim Davis have a First Amendment free exercise of religion defense when she is sued in her individual capacity for “emotional distress” with no actual damages other than “hurt feelings”? 

1. Should the unconstitutional 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling, which imposed same-sex “marriage” on all states, be overturned?

Liberty Counsel has been preparing for this Supreme Court case for 10 long years. Sadly, it often takes a decade, and millions of dollars, for cases to make their way through the lower courts to finally achieve justice at the highest court in the land.

Liberty Counsel NEVER charges our clients, because we know that most people could never afford to fight these battles on their own.  

But just as importantly, FREEDOM is worth defending no matter the cost.

If we do not win this case, Kim Davis will face bankruptcy, and Christians will become easy targets for persecution by the intolerant LGBTQ crowd.

Meanwhile in Washington. . .

Congress is trying to stack the deck against a favorable SCOTUS ruling.

HR 15 and S 1503, both known as the “Equality Act,” seek to ELIMINATE federal religious exemptions that currently prevent Christians from being forced to participate in and/or endorse the LGBTQ.

If Congress passes this bill into law, it won’t matter how the Supreme Court rules in Kim’s case. U.S. law will have gutted religious freedom, as well as the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), which protects people of faith when the federal government violates their religious beliefs.

Shockingly, the Equality Act has 214 co-sponsors in the House and 47 co-sponsors in the Senate. That means nearly HALF of CONGRESS believes Christians do not deserve religious freedom rights!

Fax Congress NOW to demand they VOTE NO on the Equality Act!

President Trump and the Republicans in Congress are doing wonderful things to make America “great” again. But unless we secure our most fundamental right to religious freedom, these gains mean little.

I cannot overstate the importance of Kim’s case.

If Kim loses, religious freedom will be DEAD in America.
