Summary

Conservative lawmakers and activists are pushing to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage. Liberty Counsel’s Mat Staver declared, “It’s just a matter of when.”

Some legislators, like Oklahoma Senator David Bullard, are introducing bills to challenge the ruling, while Justices Thomas and Alito have signaled interest in reconsidering it.

Though most Americans support same-sex marriage, the court’s conservative shift is concerning.

The 2022 Respect for Marriage Act ensures federal recognition but does not prevent states from restricting same-sex marriage if Obergefell is overturned.

    Republicans are either too stupid to understand the hypocrisy or actively engage in it specifically because they enjoy trolling.

    Conservatives with a semblance of coherent thought are Democrats.

    Anyone that actually understands the system knows both parties are right of center and left is basically a boogie man with no real-world presence in the US.
