Exactly. And that's called a mistrial in every case where children had no unique advocate briefing the court.Not once was the Infancy Doctrine cited during legal arguments in the numerous cases surrounding gay marriage.
You know the Infancy Doctrine, which exists backed by metric tons of case law, requires that in civil cases where kids have a weighty stake, they're required to have their own counsel brief the court. Failure to do so numerous times does not affect the potency of the doctrine's protection of kids. Obergefell itself named children as integral to the concept of marriage. Then it denied them representation on a massive retooling of the concept.
That's what's called a legal fail. No matter how many times the fail is repeated.
