If scotus retracts gay marriage protection congress will pass, and Trump will sign, a bill legalizing it.

The USSC being asked to overturn a case is close to a nothing burger.


The case is being argued by Liberty Council who've presented and won cases before SCOTUS.
Just curious..... How many cases have you presented to SCOTUS and won?

That has nothing to do with my comment.

Anything that makes you look dumb or presents counter arguments to your own emotional rants, which boil down to muh Tim pool, isn’t relevant.

How convenient

So before or after the midterms?

That comment did neither.

What does the group arguing the motion have to do with the chance of getting a writ? That's a form of argument from authority.

Never going to happen.

Should it? Absolutely. The opinion is a complete fricking joke.

However, we've basically crossed the Rubicon on that issue. They won’t go back. It'll probably be a 5-4 decision. The three liberal nut jobs will vote for it, of course. They'll almost certainly be joined by Roberts. The fifth will probably be Coney Barrett.

Slowprowflo is retarded but unfortunately correct here. No way in hell the court grants that lady’s petition for cert.

Would be cleaner for the court to just knock out all the fugazi fourteenth amendment bullshite with the birthright citizenship case anyways.

Robert’s voted against it the first time.

Only 4 justices who weren’t there the first time were Barret, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Jackson.

If Robert’s doesn’t change his opinion I see it coming down at 6-3 or 5-4 if barret is wet in the affirmative to overturn it

That case would deal with a completely different part of the 14A, though.

The text at issue with BRC isn't going to have much, if any, overlap with substantive Due Process.

The larger issue is how you get there. The abortion issue took decades of chipping away at the edges to get to a point where it became absurd not to revisit. This is much more of a set binary issue that won't permit the same strategy. You're going to need some state to straight up deny marriage licenses (via state-based statute) to gay couples.

I want to see Clarence Thomas revisit Loving v. Virginia, which he curiously left out of his concurrence in Dobbs.
