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.
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.
