    It’s sorta like how many states had abortion laws on the books ready to return to enforcement the second Dobbs happened.

    It’s not as if a sitting Supreme Court Justice has speculated on getting rid of Lawrence v Texas - oh wait:

    [W]e should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell. Because any substantive due process decision is ‘demonstrably erroneous’ … we have a duty to ‘correct the error’ established in those precedents.”

    Clarence Thomas. Shithead would give up Loving v Virginia as long as he keeps getting to be a sex pest and enjoy fun yacht trips.
