Second. Pretty sure we'll see same sex marriage and interracial marriage overturned or otherwise infringed upon in some way.
What's next, overturning the 13th amendment?
That would require the Constitution to still exist by then ...
"Interracial" is getting harder and harder to define every year.
"Lemme see, you're 1/8th Asian, 1/4 Caucasian, 1/2 African, 1/8th Indigenous American.... and you wanna marry a lady who is 1/2 Asian, 1/4 African, and 1/4 Caucasian... according to the SCOTUS2025 test, neither of you are white enough or black enough to marry anybody !"
You say that as if racists would consider it a problem.
One drop rule. Simple as.
Don't tell them about their minor semitic, african or first nations genetic markers though. 🤫
all them could marry each other but not other whites?
All this cause some clerk refused to do the job hired to do. This is stupied.
Welcome to the United Stupids
Just like with student loans, allowed those uninvolved to bring the case forward
I pity the person that thinks this only affects gay people and their marriages. The decision rests on the fundamental right to privacy and non-interference by government in private lives established decades earlier. In the Dobbs case, SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade and the right to abortions because they decided this right to privacy and non-interference does not exist. As a result, I expect gay marriage to fall.
But also in general the idea that you have a right to be left alone. That includes controls on all forms of contraception (the original case was about that), pornography, dating apps, consensual adult sex, sex toys, etc.
Not that long of a shot. Considering that this court just ruled that government is allowed to starve children.
The court also ruled the president is a king recently so yeah, this wouldn't be a long shot.
They choose all the cases they want to hear. Why would they choose this one if not to overrule it?
As a Log Cabin Republican I'm FINE with this Supreme Court OVERTURNING my Legal Marriage! After all I ~~Hate Myself!~~ defend my own Death?
I read these articles but they never state what's the argument being used. What's the argument the court would consider? That States have the right to regulate these independently? That marriage is (by inherent definition) is between opposite sexes? That public employees have a right to not participate by refusing to file forms, witness marriage, etc.?
that the 2015 decision was "inconsistent with originalism", aka they're just making up whatever the fuck they want, like they've been doing for decades (a hallmark of common law actually, true democracies are much better off under civil law)...and now that it looks like the tide is going heavily towards the christofacist right even more...time to start shrinking that in-group
I think the Republican Party really got lucky with the Supreme Court legalizing gay marriage. People forget how big of an issue this was political. I bet Hillary Clinton would have won if it hadn’t been legalized.
hillary clinton would have won if her name wasnt clinton
She lost by being an insufferable cunt.
And by basically buying the Democratic nomination...
that too, having no self-respect and standing by a cheater probably wasn't doing any favors on the popular-front either
If her name wasn’t Clinton, nobody would know who she was.
