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.
Forgive my ignorance here but what does “codify” even mean?
Congress can pass a law (of course, the Senate Parlimentarian can be a convenient obstacle when they don’t want to) explicitly declaring its intent to allow abortions, gay marriage, etc. at the federal level so that the courts can’t simply change their mind and return it back to the states like before the court decisions making them federally legal happened but would have to actually declare a federal law doing that is unconstitutional. This court doesn’t seem like it would have had much issue with doing that anyways though by claiming it’s not what the genociders who founded would have wanted, but it might have caused someone to hesitate or infight a little more or something
