Obergefell does not survive the next 4 years.

This is the result of a long and successful state ground game that Republicans have been using for awhile now. Whether you like to admit it or not Democrats have largely, for many reasons, considered these Republican states flyovers and not worth paying attention to.
The awful truth is this type of protection should NEVER have been left to the supreme court and/or an executive order, and now we are paying the price for this. Democrats always operated under the assumption that Republicans would never come in and do something that most people would find awful, well here they are doing just that.
Edit: I just want to add that the doomerism around this stuff needs to stop if you want to have a fighting chance. Republicans are operating under the assumption people will be too demoralized and upset to meaningful resist. Call/Email your representatives TODAY. Make your voice heard
“Many legal scholars on both sides were against Obergefell. Everyone agreed it was bad. I sent it back to the states where it belongs. Everyone is praising me including the gays because Obergefell was a great injustice and I alone ended it”
-Trump probably
“Corporate Democrats did this”

Obergefell is not even a decade old, I know I am preaching to the choir here but it feels like that the people’s trust in the SC will sink even more in the gutter if they reverse their own decision out of pure partisan hackery. Showing they are just proxies to the other two branches.

How would overturning Obergefell work now that the Respect for Marriage Act is the law of the land? Idaho would still have to recognize other states same sex marriages (unless the Supreme Court considers RFMA unconstitutional for some reason)

It’s wild that this is still a thing considering that most Republican voters don’t even seem to care about this anymore.
