If our marriages aren't valid in federal law, then those 1400+ benefits of heterosexual marriage in federal regulations and law aren't valid either.
Take all or none.
Until all of us are free, none of us is free.

Everyone has to have the same rights and opportunities...at least in theory.

Obergefell v. Hodges was a 5-4 decision. Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, and Alito all wrote dissenting opinions. 3 of those 4 are still there, with 3 new Trumpists added.

So when will the court overturn the 1967 Loving v. Virginia decision and re-affirm the criminalization of interracial marriage? Some of the racist MAGA folks want to make political currency of the crime of miscegenation. I wonder if the hypocritical Thomas would vote to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges thereby delegitimizing his own marriage by proxy. Stare decisis be damned.

First they came for the LGTBQ community, Loving vs. Virginia could be next in the list.

Perhaps JD might want to warn SCOTUS to leave enough alone…. knock some sense into Clarence especially!

He’s gotta dump the brown devil worshipping woman and get the blonde Christian widow with the leather pants.

Now, if the Supreme Court explicitly banned relationships with furniture… that’s a different story.

Except for 3 justices. The rest of them are just beyond belief. I do not respect them any more.
Not that they care.

Kicking it back to the states ala Dobbs doesn't work in this case because some benefits like federal tax bennies and Social Security spousal/survivor benefits are federal.

I wouldn't be surprised if Obergefell is overturned eventually.

Access to drugs like mifepristone, that are approved federally are being handled differently now that Roe was overturned, so some states like TX have gone hyper-hysterical about that (and similar drugs) coming into the state, even if prescribed by an out-of-state physician.

Overturning Obergefell could be done with caveats of no longer requiring states to issue "new" same-sex marriage licenses, but being required to grandfather any existing ones. It may not be dealt with this soon, but like Obergefell himself is concerned about, it's coming.

They might not accept that loon Kim Davis' case but others will most certainly try, and may push stronger First Amendment/"religious objection" excuses.
