Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, joined by fellow conservative Justice Samuel Alito, argued in a Monday statement that the landmark 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide was improperly decided and suggested the court should “fix” the decision. The statement, written by Thomas and joined by Alito, was attached to a decision from the top court allowing a lower court’s ruling against Kim Davis to stand. Davis was a county clerk in Kentucky who infamously refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples because of her religious objections. Although Thomas and Alito joined the majority in rejecting Davis’ case, they argued that it raised important questions about Obergefell v. Hodges—which legalized same-sex marriage across the country.
