10 years after the Supreme Court extended marriage rights to all same-sex couples, it will consider whether to take a case asking it to overturn the decision.
Look at when international law is applied or who gets human rights. The idea that laws are this magic scroll which somehow tie the hands of politicians and not instruments of class dictat needs to die.
Their argument will be – and has been ever since the original ruling – that the Majority Opinion misinterpreted the existing law, so it was never the meaning of the law, it just got treated that way by people abusing judicial power to accomplish their goals.
On a literal level, I think there’s merit to the idea that the Constitution “as-intended” doesn’t protect gay marriage, but that’s just more evidence that the Constitution fucking sucks and should be thrown out, along with the Supreme Court that plays ping pong with human rights.
the meaning of the law changed? because you just changed your mind?

chemerinsky (radlib, but whatever) has a phenomenal book on how much of a joke and un-Democratical SCOTUS opinions regularly are: The Case Against the Supreme Court.
it’s all political. you don’t get to elect them. they will literally just make shit up to get the political opinion they want. legal basis, prior law, even facts of the case.
podcast 5-4 goes over every decision. you can just listen to 2-3 episodes to begin to understand how stupid it all is
It’s amazing the degree to which law has been sanctified as some mystical framework that exists outside of politics and exercises power against the state
doesn’t even make sense for supreme court rulings to be overturned imo. the meaning of the law changed? because you just changed your mind?
thinking on a purely procedural basis within this system, a change in law should be required for something like this to be considered.
all laws are fake
Laws are threats of violence by the state: “Do this and we will lock you in a cage”

RvW would still be illegal.
In the sense that they were making up so much law on the spot regarding trimesters to overturn state laws? I’m just curious what you mean here
