Showing Original Post only (View all)So what will happened when Loving v. Virginia (1967, 388 U.S. 1) comes before SCOTUS? [View all]
Like Roe, Loving (right of persons of different races to marry) also was based on privacy rights in the US Const -- "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
While marriages in the past of persons of different races after Loving can not be undone retroactively (I am assuming, but who knows), if privacy is NOT a Const right...how is SCOTUS going to deal with the privacy rights underpinning Loving as to future marriages of people not of the same race?
What a motherf'ing mess!

You are so right. And, frankly, Black people have saved this nation again and again.

With gerrymandering and voter suppression, there are certainly states where it would happen.
