2016 Democratic presidential nominee and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she believes the Supreme Court is poised to overturn its landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which effectively legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, and that unmarried same-sex couples “ought to consider” tying the knot.

“American voters, and to some extent the American media, don’t understand how many years the Republicans have been working in order to get us to this point,” Clinton told Fox News host Jessica Tarlov on Friday in a wide-ranging interview on “Raging Moderates,” the podcast Tarlov co-hosts with Scott Galloway.

“It took 50 years to overturn Roe v. Wade,” Clinton said. “The Supreme Court will hear a case about gay marriage; my prediction is they will do to gay marriage what they did to abortion — they will send it back to the states.”

“Anybody in a committed relationship out there in the LGBTQ community, you ought to consider getting married because I don’t think they’ll undo existing marriages, but I fear they will undo the national right,” she said.
