Loving v. Virginia is the way that SCOTUS will ultimately rule on same-sex marriage.
It’ll be almost the same decision verbatim, with necessary changes re: same-sex couples/interracial couples.
I figure in less than five years. Maybe as few as two.
Anti-miscegenation laws are bad policy, but there really isn’t anything in the constitution that forces states to grant legal recognition to particular marriages. The real problem were the laws that criminalized sex and cohabitation of mixed race couples.
Then Loving needs to be overturned. It was a faulty decision as well. It didn’t represent the will of the people.
