Clarence Thomas writes, in a concurring opinion, that the Supreme Court should reconsider Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell — the rulings that now protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.
As I posted here, Alito’s draft opinion had to be revised to prevent a 5-4 decision, and the opinion issued today specifically states (over and over) that BECAUSE abortion is different (which it certainly is), that those other cases are not overruled or endangered by this opinion.
Alito’s original draft overruled Roe because the USSC does not have the authority to make stuff up. THAT opinion woud certainly kill off gay marriage, sodomy, and birth control AS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, and Roberts would have filed a bitter dissent.
