I doubt that it will happen, but it will be great if it does.
It was a judicial coup by the Communists in the federal courts.
And now we see, despite arguments by John Roberts to the contrary, that the federal courts are hopelessly crippled by politics.
It would be nice. But it’ll never happen. Roberts and the 4 women will never overturn it.
The 14th Amendment is a slavery amendment devised after a war which was not fought over gay marriage.
14th Amendment does have anything to do with gay marriage, only slavery and black people brought over the Atlantic Ocean in slave ships. Nor did they discuss gay marriage at the debates which created the 14th amendment.
14th Amendment is not and never was capable of addressing the issue of marriage.
The solution to this problem is, as always, originalism. An originalist view of the 14th amendment resolves this issue very simply and very cleanly.

“And now we see, despite arguments by John Roberts to the contrary, that the federal courts are hopelessly crippled by politics.”
Roberts has been proven to be a legal retard.
Kim Davis has (as far as I know) had her professional life ruined by overlapping, unending lawsuits associated with her one clear act of court defiance. Let’s not even bring up all of those ,”Bake the Gay Cake!!” lawsuits. Too many judges have sided and abetted this lawfare.
Legally speaking overturning the homosexual marriage decision, won’t have any practical effect.
Congress passed the Respect for Marriage Act in 2022.
That law explicitly legalizes homosexual marriage.
So even if the Sureme Court reverses itself, all that would do is to say that there is no constitutional right to homosexual marriage. It would not overturn laws which explicitly allow for that.
And as noted , a number of states have legalized homosexual marriage in their state laws.
And as we see happening with abortion, with Roe vs. Wade being overturned, the Dobbs decision means that there is no constitutional right to abortion. But it does not prevent legalization of abortion through the legislative process.
I don’t see this as top priority. The article says the gays and the trannies are linked, but I know plenty of gays who want nothing to do with the trannies.
Yes, you are correct. If Obergefell is overturned many states will keep legalized same-sex marriage because banning homosexual marriage isn’t as popular an issue as, say, keeping male athletes out of women’s sports.
Man, this will really frost the .000000001% of Idahoans who showed up to protest Trump on the holiday. Maybe they can hold their breaths til they turn blue.
Sex may be exclusively genetic, but that does not mean homosexuality is therefore not heritable. The author pretends genetics are the exclusive determinant, as if epigenetics do not exist. In that respect, the author does no favors to his argument.

Really? Roberts filed a dissent in Obergefell which was joined by Scalia and Thomas.
He did probono work in Colorado to bring in gay marriage. Back then it was 6-3 so he could be brave. Now the four women would block vote, so he would be the swing vote. No way he would be willing to be THE one who killed it.
True, but then again, we doubted Roe would be overturned and Trump re-elected.
If God so chooses to move in this, He can and will.
As long as the government grants benefits to an individual citizen solely on the basis of being married, I have to look closely at any marriage laws.
14th Amendment does have anything to do with gay marriage, only slavery and black people brought over the Atlantic Ocean in slave ships.
14A has explicit application to the due process and equal protection rights of all persons.
"...nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
