    Edit: don’t have time to grab source article atm, but heard on the news this morning that the bureaucrat’s appeal was turned away by Supreme Court (so this story is approximately a nothing burger).

    While the outcome isn’t certain, this report seems to be doubting that the Supreme Court will hear the case.

    In an attempt to summarize: sounds like this low level bureaucrat tried to deny a same sex marriage license, the bureaucrat was taken to court and told “this isn’t a free speech issue; the couple is allowed to get married (and also to pay some compensation)”, then the bureaucrat tried to appeal. First (or latest?) appeal was in 2019 (and it was NOT taken up by SCOTUS). It kinda sounds like that same deal is gonna happen again.

    Hope that saved you a click (and that I have my facts straight on that; please point out if I got anything wrong there).
