You are correct, the perceived need for the two different applications is indeed very different.

The constitutional theories underlying each of those two decisions, however, are nearly identical.



I'm not talking about perceived need or theory, though. I'm talking about practical application and legal strategy. Marketing RFMA as equally beneficial to SSM/IR marriage, I get that play, false though it may be. But when the legal ramifications are wildly disparate, comparing the two isn't the correct tack to take.

You are correct in observing that a SCOTUS reversal on Obergfell would have a profound effect, while a reversal on Loving would not have a significant effect because no miscegenation laws remain on the books.

None of that changes the fact that the legal reasoning between the two decisions is essentially identical, and that providing a “backstop” to one (and not to the other) would be … inconsistent.

Politically, it was a clever ploy to link them in the same statute. Jurisprudentially, it was almost mandated.

Yes. It'd have no effect unless states crafted anti-IR marriage laws prior to a reversal of Loving.

Wasn't arguing the legal reasoning, only the different circumstances. Misunderstanding of the latter is causing the disconnect with a lot of folks.

This is your error. Obergfell potentially falling is what necessitates a backstop. It's been over a score since such would be required in the event Loving fell. Ergo, there's no backstop being provided for anything regarding IR marriage.

Legally, it makes perfect sense (almost seems mandated) to treat them [ "Interracial Marriage" + Qweer Marriage] in much the same way.


Sorry Mr. Kinsley.

Pairing the two alleged "deficiencies" of "justice" -- and actually making them analogous-- makes ZERO legal, religious, traditional or common sense.

The Loving Case was in 1967 -- over a half century ago -- and your ilk are citing it NOW??

The Loving case was rare exception to the rule/law *even then*; AND IMPORTANTLY, ruled on MARRIAGE BETWEEN A MAN AND WOMAN.

Jurisprudentially, however, the legal theories underlying Obergfell are essentially the same as the legal theories underlying Loving.


Obergfell is a clinical nutjob. Whether now or in 1973. 1923. Or Year ONE. His lunacy and rationale aimed at Justice Thomas are waaay off the mark. Come on, man.

The American Psychiatric Association official citations of "mental disorders" of Homosexuality applies (see definitions up through 1973. Obergfell is their poster boy.)

Are retards still arguing obgerfell had any consequence on loving?

Just because a justice puked all over reason and mentioned loving doesn't make it relevant.

Loving pre-dated a Obergefell.

Loving influenced Obergefell, not vice versa.

This is a clause most subject to sledgehammer abuse and rife for corruption in support of an agenda [oh...like the current WOKE Agenda (D).]

One group's new "protections" are another group's obsolete / displaced rights.

The 10th Amendment is getting steamrolled -- ILLEGALLY in the opinion of many law scholars.

Simple Question:

WHO (and whom) IS CONTROLLING THE ("Social") AGENDA?

Of course, the abortion clause of the Constitution. Who could miss it?

Whenever a Libs names a bill, it means the opposite.
But that’s only because they are liars and their daddy is the Father of Liars, the devil.
