Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton predicted that the Supreme Court will "do to gay marriage what they did to abortion" and send it back to states to decide.That is not likely anytime soon. But in the long run, having the Supreme Court interfere in marriage law in this way is indefensible.
Marriage has had a crucial role in the development of civilization for thousands of years. When the Court mandated same-sex marriage in 2015, it ignored this, and reasoned instead about applying Civil War Reconstruction laws to getting a copy of an out-of-state AIDS-related death certificate. That got extrapolated to everyone, without considering what it would do to civilization.
You might say that the decision has been widely accepted, and it expressly gave dignity to personal choices and beliefs. Who could be against that?
Maybe, but I am not so sure.
