Supreme Court's silence on gay marriage speaks volumes

[Haggard Celine]

1. This article makes Obergefell look weaker than it is.

Obergefell is a strong case because the reasoning for it is rooted in the fact that states have to honor contracts made in other states. Most states already had legalized marriage or domestic partnerships for same-sex couples. Some states had made laws that these marriages were illegal in their states. So they were nullifying contracts made in other states, and that is unconstitutional. That's the the real backbone behind that decision. Because of that, I doubt it will be overturned. But if it were all about rights and chains of reasoning, it would be in a lot more danger.
