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.
This doesn’t mean that the case (Ermhold v. Davis) will be heard by the court. All that’s happened is that Libery Counsel, a right wing legal group, submitted a writ of certiorari to the supreme court. The court gets ~8,000 of these per year and only hears around 100. I doubt that anything more comes of this, but stranger things have happened.
I have to think a small proportion of submissions are for the pet project of multiple justices and their patrons? The only question on gay marriage and the supreme court is if they’ll use a procedure like this or an appealed case from a red state to kill it.

Legalese uses a lot of Latin terms specifically because it adds mysticism and gravity
Mysterium and gravitas, you mean?
Also creates jobs for failchildren to interpret legalese
