Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.

The Supreme Court is being asked to reconsider its landmark decision on same-sex marriage, a decade after it was established. The case involves Kim Davis, a former Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples on religious grounds and is now appealing a financial penalty.
