Longshot as in never gonna happen, or longshot as in Roe v Wade? Because this court is Calvinball manifested.

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.

They choose all the cases they want to hear. Why would they choose this one if not to overrule it?

All this cause some clerk refused to do the job hired to do. This is stupied.

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 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.

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.?
