""Obergefell was egregiously wrong, deeply damaging, far outside the bound of any reasonable interpretation of the various constitutional provisions to which it vaguely pointed [and set out] on a collision course with the constitution from the day it was decided," Staver said."
""presents the ideal opportunity to revisit substantive due process that 'lacks any basis in the Constitution.'""
""things that would be upset or undone if a decision is undone""
Amy Coney Barrett indicated that overturning same-sex marriage is unlikely because Obergefell v. Hodges created very concrete reliance interests. Kim Davis petitioned the Supreme Court to appeal a $100,000 jury verdict for emotional damages and $260,000 in attorneys' fees after refusing to issue marriage licences to same-sex couples in 2015. Davis' appeal is grounded in religious objections and argues Obergefell should be revisited as substantive due process that 'lacks any basis in the Constitution.' Attorney Mat Staver called Obergefell 'egregiously wrong' and on a 'collision course with the constitution.' Concern exists about the potential for rollback amid an anti-LGBTQ+ climate.
