We therefore canot conclude that the Obergefell standard is a satisfactory solution to the need of a child for both his mother and father."
You conclude all sorts of nutty crap.
Meanwhile Ferber- an unrelated prior Supreme Court decision- does not overrule the more recent- and unrelated- Obergefell.
Yes it does. Ferber is absolutely related in that it used children's well being to strip a person's constitutional right to free speech. The Court's logic was that a constitutional right cannot be exercised when it results in harm to children. Obergefell allows, indeed appears to compel, contracts to be written up that by their structure deprive a child of even the hope of a mother or father for life...without the possibility of parole. That is psychological cruelty. Ferber disallows that. And the infants doctrine says that any contract that exists which deprives a child of a necessity is void upon its face. Before the ink even dries.
