00:00I want to ask about the Supreme Court rejection, rejecting a bid to overturn the same-sex

00:05marriage ruling. Did they offer any comment with that?

00:12No, we actually didn't get any explanation for the court's decision, Matt. But this does signal

00:17that there's not an appetite among the Supreme Court to reconsider their 2015 landmark ruling

00:23that legalized same-sex marriage. And there had been speculation that they actually might be keen

00:28to after we saw that 2022 decision reversing Roe v. Wade. And this is a more conservative

00:33court, a conservative majority, actually. Three of the justices that were there in 2015 are no

00:39longer there. So some thought there could be an opening, but at the end of the day, they're not

00:43going to revisit it. And it means that the Kentucky County clerk at the center of this is still on the

00:48hook for $100,000 in damages to the same-sex couple that she denied a marriage license to three times.
