    That’s going to be tough even for this court. This doesn’t have any real bearing on obergefell.

      You see, there’s you’re problem, you’re operating as if society hasn’t already fucking collapsed. It’s a common coping tactic - keep pretending it’s just another Tuesday while the walls collapse around you.

        Overturning it with a case where it’s relevant would be easy, this isn’t that case. This is about a state judge being expected to follow state laws. They would have to rule gay marriage is outright unconstitutional, which they didn’t even do for abortion.
