The Fate Of Gay Marriage In The USA...

This is kind of political. But I think I'll post it here. Gay marriage in the the United States is safe. For now. Here's why.

Chief Justice Roberts' pro-life credentials are impeccable. But he's a decent man. And he would never upset a precedent like Obergefell v. Hodges. Look at how he voted on Roe v. Wade. Plus he believes in limited gay rights. I'm serious. Gorsuch believes in limited gay rights too. But he voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. I think he'd still vote to uphold Obergefell v. Hodges though. So that's 5-4 by my math in favor of Obergefell v. Hodges.

But only one more vote would be needed to overturn it. So get off your butt and vote next time. And encourage others to vote too. Even if you think your neighbor will vote against, encourage them to vote. The more people who vote, the better.

 

Nullifying existing marriages would be really extreme for a court which seems to be losing legitimacy. Who would write the opinion? Clarence Thomas?
