Sadly, tragically, there is a real possibility that 14th Amendment jurisprudence in its entirety – substantive due process in particular – is in real jeopardy, depending on the health of current Supreme Court justices and the outcome of the 2020 General Election.In 1967 the Supreme Court legalized interracial marriage in the U.S. Prior to then, it was up to each state to pass its own miscegenation laws.
There is a growing number of people who believe the federal government should stay out of the institution of marriage and leave it up to the states, myself included. This includes every kind of marriage from traditional to homosexual to interracial.
The federal courts have no business interfering in these matters which are defined largely by a state’s culture, demographics, religious and political leanings. If a state decides to restrict or prohibit miscegenation, that should be the end of it. No federal court or regional circuit court system should overrule any state law.
you want to relitigate Loving v Virginia, you insane bigoted twit?
no state gets to grant fewer rights than the federal government, the federal constitution and federal caselaw.
white supremacist scum are nauseating.
go back to stormfront, kkk scum
With the appointment of reactionary ‘originalist’ bigots to the Federal courts, not only would Loving be in peril, but so would every ruling prior to that, including Brown and Hernandez.
The Trump disaster poses the greatest threat to Americans’ rights and protected liberties – this thread’s premise is proof of that.
