"That affects him personally, but he doesn't care about the LGBTQ+ community," Obergefell $4 "The Reid Out."
In a 5-4 decision released Friday, the Supreme Court $4. The majority opinion argued that $4, which prevents states from depriving citizens of "life, liberty, or property without the due process of law," does not protect the right to abortion.
In a $4 following the ruling, Thomas wrote that "we should reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell."
These cases protect the right to $4, $4, and $4, respectively.
Loving v. Virginia, which $4 and also concerns the due process clause of the 14th amendment, was not a part of Thomas' list.
$4 is in an interracial marriage with $4.
"I'm just concerned that hundreds of 1000s of marriages across this nation are at risk and the ability of people across this nation to marry the person they love is at risk," Obergefell said. "And for Justice Thomas to completely omit Loving v. Virginia, in my mind, is quite telling."
Experts say the Supreme Court's decision on Roe could have far-reaching impacts on a host of civil-rights rulings. In a $4, the three liberal justices warned that if the conservative justices were "right" in their ruling, "all those decisions" like same-sex marriage would also be "wrong."
"He is opposed to our equality, he's opposed to our ability to actually be part of 'We the People,'" Obergefell said. "So this concurring opinion, to me, is just a roadmap for opponents of LGBTQ+ equality to come after those decisions and to make sure that we know they believe we are second class citizens not worthy of protection not worthy of equality, so I'm just concerned."
