    Relax, that won’t happen. The Supreme Court would have to overturn its own ruling. Judges don’t like to be seen flip-flopping. Meanwhile the Republicans in Congress are spineless and Trump is a narcissist. These are not the conditions for doing things that are widely unpopular.

      The current court has already done that for abortion. You think they won’t do it again?

          Justice* Thomas has already stated that they judged wrong on Obergfell v Hodges and wants another bite at the apple. And optics is a thing for other branches of government (lol) given how much wild and open corruption we’re seeing. No, I don’t believe my marriage is “settled law” or that the justices want to avoid flip flopping. They’ll do as their owners tell them.
