Clarence Thomas & Samuel Alito want to end marriage equality & they won't stop there [View all]

Thomas never should have been placed on SCOTUS with his reputation.

The concerns being raised over the recent Thomas-Alito Manifesto (which will occasionally be referred to as a dissent to the cert denial in Davis v. Ermold) are well-founded.

Should Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito find three seat-holders of like prejudices, Obergefell v. Hodges will disappear as Supreme Court precedent.

Anyone who has any doubt about that should seek an objectivity check.

Despite being the end result of institutionalized privileging of marriage equality by cis gays over the more pressing needs of more LGBTQ people than will ever make direct use of the 2015 decision, the existence of Obergefell v. Hodges is a good thing. And its erasure will be a bad thing.

And it will be just the beginning.
