The Supreme Court has rejected a long-shot bid to overturn the landmark 2015 decision that gave same-sex couples the constitutional right to marry.

The court turned away an appeal by Kentucky County clerk Kim Davis.

Davis was sued by a gay couple who she denied a marriage license to 10 days after the 2015 ruling. She went to the Supreme Court after an appeals court refused to grant her immunity from having to pay the $100,000 a jury awarded the couple.

President Trump has pardoned dozens of people, including Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows,

his former chief of staff, in connection with efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

Merchants will also be able to decide which credit cards they will accept, meaning they

could potentially turn away rewards cards that are popular with consumers, but cost stores more in

fees. The settlement is subject to court approval. The case dates back to 2005, when merchants sued

Visa, MasterCard, and large banks saying they engaged in anti-competitive behavior over the fees.
