In reply to the discussion: So what will happened when Loving v. Virginia (1967, 388 U.S. 1) comes before SCOTUS? [View all]AnyFunctioningAdult
(192 posts)40. This seems unlikely
Overturning Roe has been in the GOP's party platform for most of, if not all of the years a platform was released since the initial decision. The vast majority of Republicans have campaigned for the Senate and the House with overturning Roe as a high priority. Have any of them ever mentioned the Loving decision? When was the last time that case was part of the party platform to overturn?
Overturning Roe was the goal. Overturning Obergefell has also been in their platform and is likely the next goal. Few things would surprise me at this point, but I do not see this one specifically as being threatened. Clarence Thomas would be affected by this as would Mitch McConnell.

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.
