Summary

Conservative lawmakers and activists are pushing to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage. Liberty Counsel’s Mat Staver declared, “It’s just a matter of when.”

Some legislators, like Oklahoma Senator David Bullard, are introducing bills to challenge the ruling, while Justices Thomas and Alito have signaled interest in reconsidering it.

Though most Americans support same-sex marriage, the court’s conservative shift is concerning.

The 2022 Respect for Marriage Act ensures federal recognition but does not prevent states from restricting same-sex marriage if Obergefell is overturned.

    Well, I mean, that’s one way to get a cheap divorce, no?

      Apparently you just throw an RV at him and he’ll do what you want. Someone should throw an RV directly at Clarence Thomas.

          Come on. If you’re going to kill someone with a falling object, you have to go for the classics. An RV is more on point, but the classics man! Like a piano! Or a giant safe inexplicably falling from the sky? Or an anvil! If I was going to be killed by falling object, I would like to be killed by an anvil. What a wonderfully Looney Tunes-esque way to go! Or imagine a headline, “Supreme Court Justice killed by falling anvil!”

          If you’re gonna do it, commit to the bit!
